"Living High Off The Hog"...


To prosper or otherwise live very well; to live well and eat good food


Sidebar: It refered to the rich being able to afford the choicest cut of meat, which, from a pig, is higher up on the animal. This term comes from the practice of the choicest cuts for ham and bacon being taken from high up on the pig’s side. It originated in the American South in the nineteenth century and became extremely common in the mid-twentieth century.
