Pigs as dirty is an outdated, mostly religious based, meme.

Regardless, there are many idiomatic phrases that treat pigs as undesirable, e.g., "you filthy pig", "I'm sweating like a pig", "you've made a right pig's ear of that" etc.

While your campaign to restore the dignity of the pig is admirable, I'm not sure it's going to catch on


I try. Maybe I might make one person think differently. Thanks for noticing.


Ok but the town wasn't named after pigs so why change it now?


Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal.


Only if a human puts it there.
