I've recently discovered that the expression "a three-dog night" comes from New Guinea, where natives sleep with dogs on a cold night. An especially cold night is a "two-dog night." A "three-dog night" is when it's really freezing. Poor Liz must feel exceptionally cold. In her case, it's a "three-Dems night."

Monkey pox requires social distancing with dogs, however. And with the Dems, obviously.

Yeah, according to the Outback Dictionary, but when you consider that New Guinea is near the equator and Australia notoriously hot, it makes more sense that the phrase is variously attributed to Eskimos (who keep Huskys), the Samoyede People (Siberia), or just about anywhere else that gets really cold.
  
Can you picture a New Guinean jumping into his sleeping hole with three dingoes because it's a bone-chilling 78°F?

It's Australian phrase appropriation.

Australians. They get everything upside-down.
