Dictionary of Problem Words and Expressions
Thoroughbred & purebred
As noun and adjective, these words mean
“of unmixed stock, race, or breed.”
It is correct to refer to a thoroughbred(or purebred) horse
and to an animal as thoroughbred or purebred.
Only thoroughbred is applied to people.
When this is done, the implication is that
the person referred to is “of good breeding,”
a phrase interpretedto mean “polite,’ “courteous,” “refined,”
and “well trained.”
Although purebred may be applied to any domestic animal,
the word pedigree is being increasingly used
to indicate not only that the animal is of unmixed stock
but that a valid written statement exists to attest this fact.
