As a 73-year-old woman, I heard the term used often in my yonger days. Always, as I recollect, the term dogs was used to express how your feet felt after a long day of shopping. For example: "Whew, my dogs are barking!" I was around when pointed toe shoes made their appearance in the 50s and perhaps it was those foot killers that inspired women to use that expression.

Slang affects American children in the same way as it affects all children everywhere. Slang is part of human language, which is always changing and evolving. Every language has slang, just as every language has idiomatic expressions. Children learn how to use the right slang in the same way they learn how to use other words - they hear them used all around them.
