greyhound
Slender racing canine
A greyhound is a tall, slender breed of dog built for speed, with a narrow head, long legs, and deep chest.
Greyhounds are the fastest of all dog breeds, historically bred for coursing game and now often associated with racing: We adopted a retired greyhound from the track.
The word also refers to a cocktail of grapefruit juice and vodka or gin. (Capitalized Greyhound is the bus company.)
