Satire | HOG, n. A bird remarkable for the catholicity of its appetite and serving to illustrate that of ours. Among the Mahometans and Jews, the hog is not in favor as an article of diet, but is respected for the delicacy and the melody of its voice. It is chiefly as a songster that the fowl is esteemed; the cage of him in full chorus has been known to draw tears from two persons at once. The scientific name of this dicky-bird is Porcus Rockefelleri. Mr. Rockefeller did not discover the hog, but it is considered his by right of resemblance. Source: Devil's Dictionary. |
Computing | Hog n.,vt. 1. Favored term to describe programs or hardware that seem to eat far more than their share of a system's resources, esp. those which noticeably degrade interactive response. _Not_ used of programs that are simply extremely large or complex or that are merely painfully slow themselves. More often than not encountered in qualified forms, e.g., `memory hog', `core hog', `hog the processor', `hog the disk'. "A controller that never gives up the I/O bus gets killed after the bus-hog timer expires." 2. Also said of _people_ who use more than their fair share of resources (particularly disk, where it seems that 10% of the people use 90% of the disk, no matter how big the disk is or how many people use it). Of course, once disk hogs fill up one filesystem, they typically find some other new one to infect, claiming to the sysadmin that they have an important new project to complete.

Literature | Hog meaning a piece of money, is any silver coin - sixpence, shilling, or five-shilling. It is probably derived from the largess given on New Year's Eve called hog-manay, pronounced hog-money. In the Bermudas the early coins bore the image of a hog. Hog seems to refer to age more than to any specific animal. Thus, boars of the second year, sheep between the time of their being weaned and shorn, colts, and bullocks a year old, are all called hogs or hoggets. A boar three years old is a "hog-steer." Some say a hogget is a sheep after its first shearing, but a "hogget-fleece" is the first shearing. To go the whole hog. An American expression meaning unmixed democratical principles. It is used in England to signify a "thorough goer" of any kind. In Virginia the dealer asks the retail butcher if "he means to go the whole hog, or to take only certain joints, and he regulates his price accordingly." (Men and Manners of America. Mahomet forbade his followers to eat one part of the pig, but did not particularise what part he intended. Hence, strict Mahometans abstain from pork altogether, but those less scrupulous eat any part they fancy. Cowper refers to this in the lines: "With sophistry their sauce they sweeten, Till quite from tail to snout `tis eaten." Love of the World Reproved. Another explanation is this: A hog in Ireland is slang for "a shilling," and to go the whole hog means to spend the whole shilling. (See Hog.) You have brought your hags to a fine market. You have made a pretty kettle of fish. "You have brought your hogs to a fine market." - Howell (1659). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Hog lots are large-scale confinement areas for hogs. These are a contentious issue in agribusiness, agriculture, and rural sociology. Critics argue that the hog lots are too large, poorly run, inhumane, or unfriendly to family farming. Some argue that the hog lots contaminate local ground water supplies via drainage wells, creeks, rivers, and the like. They also argue that the hog lots are destroying valuable agricultural lands.
Criticism of Hog lots
Osha Gray Davidson quotes a farmer, "They call it economic development, but they don't realize the consequences. It's just unbelievable the smell that comes off of there. Remember, I've raised hogs. I know what hog manure smells like. This is different. It's unbelievable, within 3 miles are 6,400,000 chickens and 26,000 hogs. Now it's one neighbor against another. We're called revolutionists because we're stopping progress. I know what's happening to gas stations and grocery stores, now it's happening to farmers."
Davidson quotes another farmer, "It has ruined our whole environment. We cannot live here. We've become angry." [1]
Hog lot accidents
In 1995, a dike surrounding a 12ft manure-lagoon broke allowing ~25,000,000 gallons of feces and urine to flow into the New River. This resulted in the deaths of thousands of fish and contamination for miles downstream.
Effects on Family Farms
Between 1982 and 1987 some 21% of Iowa hog farmers went out of business. By 1992, another 12% had gone out of business. Critics argue that this is, in large part, a result of hog lot expansion. [1]
Osha Gray Davidson writes: "As the rural economy continues its slide, the beachhead established by the far right will continue to grow. A significant number of rural ghetto residents are going to be cut off and are sure to seek their salvation in the politics of hate."
Davidson adds, "Adam Smith argued that market concentration is a threat to society. I believe democracy is endangered by the destruction of the family farm. The countryside is dominated by superfarms, corporate hog lots, and factory towns where people labor for poverty wages in unsafe and unhealthy conditions."

The domestic pig is usually given the scientific name Sus scrofa, though some authors call it S. domesticus, reserving S. scrofa for the wild boar. It has been a domesticated animal for approximately 5,000 to 7,000 years. The animal is found across Europe, the Middle East and extends into Asia as far as Indonesia and Japan. The distinction between wild and domestic animals is slight, and domestic pigs have become feral in many parts of the world (for example, New Zealand); feral pigs can cause substantial environmental damage. The family Suidae also includes about 12 separate species of wild pig, most also classified in the genus Sus.

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Suidae Genus: Sus species: scrofa (or domesticus) Binomial name '' Sus scrofa'' Sus scrofa has four subspecies, each occupying distinct geographical areas. They are Sus scrofa scrofa (western Africa, Europe), Sus scrofa ussuricus (northern Asia and Japan), Sus scrofa cristatus (Asia Minor, India), and Sus scrofa vittatus (Indonesia).
Many different words in English identify different types of pig:
Pigs (or swine) that are allowed to forage may be watched by swineherds. A litter of piglets typically contains between 10 and 12 animals. Meat from pigs is called pork in general and ham, bacon or bologna in some cases. Their trotters are often sold as the jelly-like dish of pig's feet. Hog jowls are a popular soul food. The American pig-raising industry calls pork a white meat, as opposed to beef; "white meat" (such as poultry) is often considered healthier than "red meat." Both Islam and Orthodox Judaism forbid the eating of pork in any form, considering the animal to be unclean: no form of pig meat can be kosher or halal.
- adult male pigs are called boars
- adult females are called sows
- juvenile animals are called piglets and farrows
- young pigs between 100-180 pounds are called shoats
- a gilt is an immature female pig
- a barrow is a castrated male pig
- hog is used as a synonym of pig in the United States; in its original sense it means a castrated boar.
- swine is a plural noun meaning pigs
While pigs are raised mostly for meat, their skin is used as a source of leather. Their bristly hairs are also traditionally used for brushes.
Pigs, like humans, are omnivores, making them easy to raise: on a small farm or in a large household they can be fed kitchen scraps as part or all of their diet.
Pigs are the only mammal not to have sweat glands.
Miscellaneous
The pig is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Believers in Chinese astrology associate each animal with certain personality traits. See: Pig (Zodiac).Zhu Bajie is a famous monster pig in the Chinese novel Journey to the West.
Pigs are commonly associated with greed and with dirt; the latter probably comes from their habit of wallowing in mud.
