Fair point. Our ドXX entries are a good guide.
I'm suggesting hiding the kanji; most references don't have it.

There's a pretty good article in the refs, I thought some might find it interesting, and maybe helpful for this entry. It opens with:

"In Japanese, do ド means "super," or "mega," or "hyper, " or "ultra," or "very." It's an intensifying prefix often used exaggeratedly."

We have none of these glosses.  If this is colloquial/slang, then maybe the current glosses should not just be added to, but replaced.  It seems telling that none of our xrefs use any of our glosses.

ド嬉しい = "Super happy", no?

We've lead with ど over ド, but in keeping with trendy slang, all of the modern adult/"perverse"/vulgar xrefs strongly prefer ド.

I just added ド変態.  You could somewhat argue that it is A+B, but I didn't find that clear with this entry in its current form.
