ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Battler (underdog)

Okay kiddo, so imagine two people are going to have a race. One is really big and strong, and the other is small and not as strong. The big person is probably going to win the race, because they have a better chance of running fast. So, the small person is the "battler" or "underdog." They have less of a chance of winning, but they still try their best and fight hard, even though it might be difficult for them. Sometimes, the underdog can surprise everyone and win the race, which is pretty cool! So, even though someone might seem like they are at a disadvantage, they can still try their best and possibly come out on top.
