green dog

Dear teachers and friends...

Could you shed some light on this?

whether someone call someone else a green dog due to his/her behaviour, what does it mean?

He's such a green dog!

Thanks

Never met this, but green is traditionally the colour of jealousy or innocence.

Never met this, but green is traditionally the colour of jealousy or innocence.

hmm... interesting, I know the blue colour is related to sadness, as in:

I am feeling blue today.

so, would it be possible to write a sentence using 'green' related to jealousy or innocence?

As for the green dog, I guess it has something to do with innocence, no idea why they used a dog to describe people, maybe because of the dog's obedience. Very awkward sentence, as awkward as a green dog.

Thanks

"She showed every sign of green-eyed jealousy"

Another possibility - that "he" is ecologically hyperaware/active.

Yet another definition of "green" is naive, inexperienced, a novice.

"The drill sergeant's job is to turn a bunch of green recruits into soldiers."

Thank you!!!
