Popularly known as “raw dogging” or “barebacking” a flight, apparently.

Great example of people who are ignorant of slang, using it in inappropriate contexts.

I would expect that the people who came up with this meaning know exactly what the original slang means, and did it intentionally. Though yeah, I'm sure there are people who use it who don't know what it really means.

I don't think that's what it means. Raw dogging a flight means staying awake while doing nothing.

I suppose most people that want to "raw dog" a flight will fall asleep eventually, so I guess there's that. But I think getting buzzed and just slipping into a bad nap for like 12 hours is a bit different, at least to my mind.

That sounds an awful lot like idleness.
