How it's used
Refers specifically to the fluffy, lion-like appearance of the breed rather than just the breed name itself. It is a descriptive term that captures the iconic thick fur around the neck and head. While it is the standard colloquial term for the breed, it is also used playfully to describe anyone or anything with particularly messy or voluminous hair.
