Roadwork 

A term typically used by boxers to describe intensive cardio work, necessary for building up the endurance required to compete in a professional boxing match.

Previously, "roadwork" was used by boxers exclusively to describe running; now, the term has expanded to cover interval running/training and anaerobic exercises to better prepare a fighter to circle their opponent in the ring and throw hundreds of combination punches over the course of an entire fight.
If he wants a shot at going the distance in his next fight, he's gonna have to iron out his roadwork.

Rottweiler 

A large, powerful black and tan colored Mastiff type dog. Thought to originate from breeding Roman herding dogs and Swiss and German breeds. Named after the town of Rottweil in Germany

They have gained a bad reputation as aggressive or dangerous dogs in recent years. They are actually very well tempered, but due to a handful of people training them to attack, and the fact that they are strong enough to do serious damage, many people fear them. Nonetheless, they are still one of the most popular breeds of dog.
