b...@grif.net
[A “Southern” website mentioned how phrases with “pigs” or “hogs” are common occurrences in our language, even though the only time most get close to a pig is carving the ham at Easter.Here are a few; if you have any to add to the collection, please jump right in and wallow. Er, go “hog wild”.]
>She’s eatin’ like a pig.
>He’s bleedin’ like a stuck hog.
>Don’t cast your pearls before swine.
>You can’t make a silk purse out of a hog’s ear.
>Don’t hog all the ‘taters at supper.
>This fits about as good as a saddle on a sow.
>They’re livin’ life high on the hog
>When you wrestle with a pig you both get dirty. But the pig enjoys it.
>Don’t buy a pig in a poke.
>Now we’re going whole hog on this topic.
IT’S YOUR TURN to add a favorite “pig-related” saying. We will post tomorrow. Don’t delay or you’ll be “squealing like a stuck pig”.
