In a pig's eye!

This page says:

When compared the human’s eyes, pig’s eyes are relatively small and the expression ‘a pig’s eye’ has been used to denote small eyes since the 17th century.

The expression’s use to indicate incredulity could be related to the earlier ‘pig’s eye’ meaning but, if so, it isn’t clear how.

That’s a bit unsatisfying. Does anyone have any further information on the origin of the ‘in a pig’s eye’ idiom?

Note:

Update : I already know the meaning of it, so quoting dictionary is of no use.
i am interested the origin and history of it.

I agree with this person.

Not really a definitive answer, but probably as good as we’re getting at the moment.

I saw that yesterday. It pretty much rules out rhyming slang, and points to American origin. The first recorded usage was in North America in 1847. No information on where the phrase came from.

What kind of tie does a pig wear? My evil dad never had an answer to that one, either. I asked him that question after he yelled at me to clean up my room, and he said my room looked like one.

I hope to go to the Tipton Pork Festival next week, and maybe I can get an answer there.

This is unlikely, but could Pierre “Pig’s Eye” Parrant be somehow associated with the origin?
