The English Pointer or just Pointer is a gun dog breed whose name comes from its instinct to point at the prey. They're cute, smart, gentle, very playful, very energetic, extremely kind and really lovely.
Man, my dog is an English Pointer so you can guess how much I love that boy.
The Pointer, often called the English Pointer, is a medium to large-sized breed of dog developed in England as a gun dog. It is one of several pointing breeds. A pointing breed is a type of gundog typically used in finding game. Gundogs are traditionally divided into three classes: retrievers, flushing dogs, and pointing breeds. The name pointer comes from the dog's instinct to point, by stopping and aiming its muzzle towards game.
One whose sole job is to point out what should be obvious to people, but isn't. Sometimes considered a smart ass and yet is somehow almost always right.
The Pointer of the Obvious responded to my Urban Dictionary and made me look like an ass - what a jerk.
