og shows, in which dog owners make themselves and their dogs miserable in hopes that they will be named the "Best in Show" (which is to say the most beautiful, well trained and wonderful dog in the competition). And thus while this film is basically about a bunch of people who come to see if their dogs can win the dog show, it is ultimately about the fact that while Americans think they are normal, they are in fact among the strangest people on earth….

Kama Sutra An ancient and famous Indian text on the art of sex. It’s called the Congress of the Cow. A completely ridiculous name for a sexual position that is discussed in the Kama Sutra. Come on, honey, mommy and daddy are over here. The most versatile phrasal verb in English, meaning everything from hurry up and be serious, to, as here, please! Just trot him, straight away and back, please. If a horse "trots," it walks fast, though here it used as a transitive verb meaning to walk the dog. This usage is silly and rare. Best of breed. Best winners. Best opposite. A "breed" is a particular animal type. For example, different dog breeds include Collies, Poodles and German Shepherds.

If a person is "loopy", they are considered a bit odd or strange. To walk in "loops" is to walk in circles. Oh man, you’ve got moves better than Winky. Here, "moves" are types of dance steps. Really, what we’re talking about is standards. A "standard" is a particular level of quality or excellence that is established by tradition or rules Very, very specific, rigid, you could say. If something is "rigid," it is inflexible or not likely to change. The breeds do differ in that, but they’re very very strict and very very pure. A "strict" person is demanding and insists on following rules exactly. You’re average tourist, fisherperson. A ridiculously proper or politically correct
