Just thought I'd throw this up while we're on this subject - RPB's position statement on the term:

RPB uses the term "Pit Bull" as a nickname for the breed American Pit
Bull Terrier (APBT).

There are many breeds mistakenly labeled as "Pit Bulls" or improperly
referred to as such by the media, legislators, and others.
Some mislabeled breeds include: Staffordshire Bull Terriers, American
Bulldogs, and Bull Terriers. Each of these breeds has unique history
and temperament that separate them from the REAL Pit Bull and
should not be referred to as "Pit Bulls". Additionally, each of these
breeds has its own rescue and advocacy group(s), has fewer numbers
than the APBT, and are not referred to as "Pit Bulls" by their own
fanciers and breed clubs. RPB does not consider these breeds to be
"Pit Bulls" and as such are NOT our focus. The broad use of the term
"Pit Bull" to refer to these other "bull breeds” is a recent development.

RPB’s goal is to help end the confusion surrounding the term "Pit Bull",
and accurately identify TRUE Pit Bulls while sorting through related
breeds. We aren't ashamed of the term "Pit Bull", in fact, it has
historically been the nickname used by APBT fanciers. As an
organization, RPB embraces the term "Pit Bull" for the APBT as we
strive to accurately define and identify the breed.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, et.al., are
effected by the same or similar problems that so seriously effect the
APBT; we believe that the work we do specifically for Pit Bulls can only
help further the cause of ALL those working for ANY breed that may be
mislabeled a "Pit Bull".

RPB supports the use of the term “bull breeds” when referring to that
group of breeds that includes the APBT, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Bull
Terrier, American Bulldog, and other breeds of bulldog ancestry, and
those dogs commonly targeted by legislation that categorizes dogs
based on looks and not actual breed.

In place of the term "pit bull-type dog", we support usage of the term
"bull breed-type dog" for dogs of indistinguishable origin, not labeled
Pit Bulls, that would be effected by BSL due to their appearance.
