“Pig” (slang) is a word used to refer to one’s friend or buddy, similar to the slang dog or dawg. “Pig” is more commonly used when a female is addressing a friend, usually female, as many females find the term dog or dawg derogatory. Use of this term originated in Northern California (Millbrae, California to be exact), but has spread to Southern California."
What on earth is that doing in there?
Nothing about mating, feeding, raising young. But now you do know that women in Milbrae California call each other “pigs.”
“Pigsney” is a Scottish term of endearment for a female. A small group of my friends and I used it for each other while we were in high school. We’d probably still use it if we hung out more often.
On a semi-related note, I recently edited wiki’s Pig disambiguation page, to add a link to Pigskin 621 A.D., an altogether goofy arcade game I played too much of in the early 'nineties.
That is, of course, the French version for “I’m a mammal and you are too,” a children’s song thats arguably the best product every to come out of the Royal Ontario Museum.
