Thank you for taking the question seriously. I had not even thought about reporting it! I was worried I was going to have to go through the whole name changing thing (that would be a pain for me because I lack any creativity & usually come up with such winners like "personABC")
To the people who actually researched this..thank you!!! I now know more about dog reproduction than needed but it is appreciated.
@VideoAdmin-how do I report to support? The first was from UK & I deleted, but the one today is from CA (somebody mentioned about illegal US activity)
Hi, Tie.
Nothing wrong with your name. And the explanation you asked for has nothing to do with the anatomy of a dog. It has to do with Sick man trying to deal with his illness by saying, "IT ain't me, It's YOU!" That you can hear him say it, from the point of view of bearing your life, is merely an accident. You happen to be standing there when he says it, so you hear it. It is the same as if you were in a bus station and a vagrant wandered past muttering.

Psychological projection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person subconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, usually to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others originate those feelings.
Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
An example of this behavior might be blaming another for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by redirecting libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those same faults onto another person or object.
The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud
