Dongless has two lives as a slang term. In vulgar usage it means lacking a penis, used either as a blunt descriptor or as a comedic insult lobbed in online arguments. But in tech and creative circles, dongless more commonly describes software or hardware that runs without a USB security dongle — that clunky little authentication device old-school software packages used to require. Context makes it clear which meaning is in play, though the word always carries a slight snicker regardless.
After years of fumbling for the USB stick, the dongless version of the software felt like a genuine liberation.
