(26,004 posts)AFAIK, 'ankle biter' is merely an affectionate euphemism for a small child. Seems this hater hates pretty much everyone else anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me to find he hates kids as well.

(26,606 posts)generous with his hatreds and there's no real reason to think kids are excluded. (He probably had a nice meal ruined by some screaming brats and their inattentive parents... )

(11,065 posts)"ankle biter" is the euphemism for a small dog.
Neither expression started as being affectionate.

(26,004 posts)and the first one is 'a little kid' - synonymous with 'rug rat.' Nickelodeon had a cartoon called Rug Rats, remember. Would that have flown as a title if it was a euphemism bandied about in anything worse than an affectionate way? I think not. 2nd definition was 'a small dog,' as you suggested, and despite having heard the term used in that way as well (I didn't fall off the turnip truck just yesterday, yunno), I couldn't believe this guy thought there was something ungodly about small breeds of dogs. None of the other 5 definitions made sense to me in the context of that sign either.
Anyhoo...I have no idea what this guy's deal is or why his rage compelled the addition of 'ankle biters' to the list of people, institutions & deities he despises. Just struck me as especially peculiar in that context. People often assign specific meanings to the words they choose, going on to become indignant if everyone else doesn't understand those words exactly as they do. Please, let's not allow our brief encounter to become one of those instances, m'kay?

frogmarch
(12,160 posts)hates Jews, Catholics, Mormons and Pentecostals. What is he, I wonder. He must be a Christian of some sort since he's wearing Jesus Saves shirt.
Hates uppity women too, I see. Haha, love it.
He pretty much hates everybody, doesn't he? What a loser.

(12,160 posts)the Urban Dictionary, and it said ankle biters are 1) small children 2) small dogs 3) people who overcompensate for shortcomings by trying too hard to prove themselves, like small dogs do when they try to prove they're tough by going after ankles.
But none of those seem to fit what the loser sign guy meant by ankle biters.
