Incorrect. In the context he was using: I just called a spayed a spayed., he was using this old idiom:
The idiom originates in the classical Greek of Plutarch's Apophthegmata Laconica, and was introduced into the English language in 1542 in Nicolas Udall's translation of the Apophthegmes, where Erasmus had seemingly replaced Plutarch's images of "trough" and "fig" with the more familiar "spade".
The use of spayed is not even relevant, and it's this stupid comparison that creates his bad English. Nuff said.
