Pig-related idioms

• The English language abounds with unflattering references and idioms involving pigs. Pigs are commonly associated with greed ("as greedy as a pig") and obesity, gluttony ("to pig out"). Likewise, a hog is someone or something that monopolizes time, resources, or processes, e.g. a road hog or server hog. Pigs are also associated with dirtiness ("this room is a pigsty"); the latter probably comes from their habit of wallowing in mud. The perennially soot-covered character in the Peanuts comic strip is named Pig-Pen.

"Squealing like a stuck pig" is a phrase used to describe squealing, a variation of the "bleed like a.." phrase which is technically inaccurate because pigs must be unconscious during slaughter in order to avoid cruelty and because the stress will cause glycogen depletion in the muscles, damaging some or all of the meat.
