注释- Feist, also fice, is one of several regional terms for a small mixed-breed dog or mongrel. Used throughout the Midland and Southern states, feist connotes a snappy, nervous, belligerent little dog—hence the derived adjective feisty, meaning "touchy, quarrelsome, or spirited,” applicable to animals and to people. Feist, 也作 fice, 是对一种小的混血狗或谱系不名的狗的最初几种叫法之一。用于英国中部地带和南部地区, feist 意指一种暴躁的、不安的或好战的小狗——由此而得的形容词 feisty, 意思是“暴躁的、好争吵的或者勇猛的,”指人和动物
