Dear Guru
What's the origins of the American male usage of "dawg".
Wassup dawg, you're my dawg, yeah, dawg...

I thought that this was obvious.
The word was invented by Randy of American Idol fame as a way of making the millions of viewers, all of whom have IQs that can be measured on the rictor scale, think he was cool.
Legend has it that he thought of the idea when listening to a dog howl outside his mansion in the night. The misguided judge was so impressed by the off-key intonation that he gave the dawg it's own moniker.
To this day the word dawg is used to refer to someone who is cool, sings off key, and hasn't had a bath in a month.
