I know the answer now:

Spotty dog = dogs with spots
Dotty dog = mad dogs!!

Quite unexpected. But it says so in the dictionary.

另外順便問, 有冇人知"契媽","契女"英文係嘜呀, 有人話係godmother, 但係好似唔多夾!

我用 sworn mother / sworn daughter.

godmother都得, 不過多數指religion既教母, 因為外國只得godmother, 都係半個呀媽既角色, 等同我地既契媽.

hi, Teresa,

Can you explain more about the 'sworn' term?  I saw from the dictionary that it means 'totally'.  
Many thanks.

Re: One English Question.... ? Pl help

Sworn 由兩個意思:
(1)是個adjective, 意思是 Totally
(2)  是個 verb, Swear 的 過去分詞 , swear的其中一個意思是 “宣誓”

在sworn daughter, sworn mother 的 "sworn",我用的是 (2)。 在外國的文化裏,沒有“契媽”“契爺”這些稱呼,最接近的意思就是他們在宗教上的godfather / godmother。

用swear一字,取其意思“宣誓”=上契,而英語用法中,把swear (v.) 一字modified 一個名詞時,就要把它轉做過去分詞 (past participle ),所以變成了sworn mother。
