So I'm sitting at work thinking of a few past posts and their comments and come to the realization that the term CUR is often used to describe a mixed breed when in fact it's not.. It's a term that can only be used in historical context due there only being one way to determine a CUR and that's in the [].
Mutt should be used but it's associated with being derogatory in nature. So it hits me, think of a word that's not derogatory and has only one meaning in the dog world.

I an hereby announcing a new positive term to describe them,

Suflet: Pronunciation, Sue-Flay.
Definition: A mixed breed dog and/or of unknown origin...

LOL, What do you think?

That's very cute Ec

Not to be confused with:
Soufflé is a baked dish made basically of milk and eggs, to which separately beaten egg whites give an airy lightness; means literally, "puffed-up"

LOL puff puff pass........I think you're bogartin'!

That's a good one, and when said to a male dog, it would also interpret as being gay ("not that there's anything wrong with that" -Seinfeld)

As far as CUR also meaning a mutt, I think that's because back in the day (80's & early 90's) if you had a "purebred" pit, it would be game, period. Ya know what I mean, kind of like denying that a pitbull could possibly be a cur. Basically saying that the only possible explanation for a pitbull to be a cur, is because it's not pure, but rather mixed with something else.

Good point, Nes. Just to elaborate a little more I'd say that it's reasonable to assume that just about any specimen of any other breed, mixed or pure, would be a cur without proving it. I've heard many guys say that cur means not only a proven cur but also anything that is not of bull and terrier blood which kinda supports the "inferior dog" theory. Funny sh!t, EC. Made my day.

So is it official? lol

Yes, we will now insult peoples' dogs with the term Suflet, LMFAO

I think the term "cur" is thrown around to much..imo
