    'pig-out', 'eat like a pig', and 'porker' cause offence

    Muslims and Jewish people don't seem to mind them, but apparently piggies find these phrases deeply offensive!

        I'm offended that you don't appear to be offended by someone being offended by the idea that someone else is offended.

                Excellent! Standing up for piggies' rights!

                And what about that other awful expression, "Thick as pig sh*t" ? I bet theirs is at least as intelligent as our own!
