Animal Idioms-Pig

Time for some more English idioms, sticking with animals I thought I would choose the pig today. Here are a few that spring to mind.

  • Pig in a poke.
  • To make a pigs ear of something.
  • Pigs might fly.
  • Make a pig of yourself.
  • Sweat like a pig.
  • Squeal like a stuck pig.
  • Pig out.

Try and see if you can figure out the meaning! If you get stuck you can look them up here.

    I’m just discovering your blog through a link at Sally’s Sydney Daily Photo.

    I’m French and spent six years in Sydney. I’m quite passionate about the English language and although I consider myself almost bilingual I know I still have plenty to learn. Your blog is a great resource, I’ll come back!
