Kailani: What’s wrong with that guy in corner? He seemed to be very anxious when I was speaking to him about politics and does not seem to be very mindful of his tone when speaking about his views.

An abbreviation for the American Staffordshire Terrier, one of the dog breeds that are considered to be pitbulls. The name pitbull is viewed as being quite derogatory towards the breed as it causes people to presume that all of them are aggressive towards people and other animals, which is often not the case because their temperament is determined more by who trained them more than what breed of dog they are. So generally, it is better to call them by the breed’s name, because it is not as discriminatory.
Kenneth: I see an Am Staff over there.
Luna: A what?
Kenneth: An Am Staff. Its less offensive way of saying pitbull.
