      Normally the English have more fun elegant names. I guess the need to make it sound foreign so they could be more xenophobic and hateful about it took priority.

        Oh come on! Actually just last week I was looking for ratchet straps for my trailer. On Amazon UK they’re a choice of " Ratchet straps 3 ton, 4 mètre", “Lorry ties 5 ton, 6 mètre” etc etc

        Accidentally clicked on amazon.com and suddenly they’re “Patriot Maurader ratchet tactical straps 7 million ton” and “Screeching Eagle Parabellum Hellfire Military anti-gravity staionaryizers”

        It was fuckin infantile 😂

        As mentioned in the article the American Bully XL isn’t a recognised breed, so the name likely came from the owners themselves making it up.
