sick puppies

Unwell young dogs

Sick puppies refers to people with disturbed, deviant, or perverse inclinations—usually said with a mix of disapproval and dark humor: What kind of sick puppies would enjoy watching that?

The phrase softens the judgment slightly through its playful wording while still conveying that someone's tastes or behaviors are unwholesome.

Sick Puppies is also an Australian rock band formed in 1997.
