not thats not what i got out of it, i agreed with her outlook on the word. but added my bit. maybe you took it wrong but basically what im saying is it is an abbreviation for pitbull that people throw around casually. like you said "im chillin wit my pit drinkin!", how often do most people say "im chillin with my american pitbull terrier" or "IM bout to go walk my american pitbull terrier!". now if somebody has an ambully or staffy i dont expect them to call it "my APBT" because that would be lying or simply uneducated. BUT i wouldnt see a problem for the random everyday joe that owns a "pet-bull"
saying its a "pitbull" or "pit". just a casual abbreviation, like what she said golden,rot,rottie,staffy, ect.

Most people probably couldn't say ''Chillin with my American pit bull terrier drinkin'' once they got loaded anyways. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png
All kidding aside, I see the terms ''pit'' or ''pittie'' as nothing more than calling a doberman pinscher a ''dobie'' or a rottweiler a ''rottie'' or a laborador retriever a ''lab''.Most dog breeds have shorter breed related 'nicknames' and I see nothing wrong with it.
Not to mention the term 'pit bull' is not a single breed,but a collection of breeds.(unless you are counting the APBT alone) Wich honestly,the term ''pit'' or ''pittie'' makes it slightly easier,for those of us with differant 'pit bull' type breeds to be general(without the details) to referance our dogs breeds. |
