It means that you have been reading "The Three Little Pigs". Probably
better reading than some of the stuff Marius has been reading and
asking about.

If you want to see it as a metaphor, it means "by a slim margin", "not
by a long shot", or - crudely - "not by a cunt hair".

It has nothing to do with facial hair other than using hair as a
something that is very thin as in "a slim chance".

Reading it just now, it occurred to me that perhaps he was taking
an oath "by the hairs of his beard", as some people have been
said to do in the past.

Why men? It refers to the hair on a pig's chin.

"The Shining"?

Jack Torrance says that to his wife before he axes the door.

"Heeeeeeere's Johnny!"

ObAue - In Scotland we would say "a baw hair", i.e. ball or testicle.

Is this like "I will back this vow with my life",
via an oblique reference to throat-slitting as punishment?

On Monday, snide...@gmail.com pointed out that ...
Or just that having your beard (your beautiful red beard) forcibly
shaved off made your calumny as visible as being in the stocks?
