Pit Bull

Definition

A misunderstood dog breed that scores incredibly high in temperament tests, yet faces widespread stigma due to irresponsible owners and media hype. These powerful, affectionate dogs are gentle family companions when raised with care, though thousands are euthanized yearly due to breed discrimination.

Example Usage

My pit bull is gentler than my neighbor's golden retriever, but people still cross the street when they see us—the stigma is tragic and unfair.

Exercise performed while huffing and puffing enough oxygen to keep your cells happy, as opposed to those masochistic anaerobic sprints that leave you gasping like a landed fish.

Basically, it's the difference between a pleasant jog and running from a bear.
