That Pitbull Bites --- as did WWII....

Cancer bites - Mosquitoes bite.

Insects, cancer: they all suck, they all bite.

Getting bitten by a pitbull bites.

All these things have two closely related meanings:
They are all metaphorically dreadful and they are all literally painful.

Just as 1939-1945 (aka WWII aka MODERNITY UNLEASHED) was.

WWII bites, WWII sucks, because it bit 60 to 75 million people and bit them to death.

And that sucks, Big Time ----literally and figuratively....
