The references Alex Allan forwards are right on the money, obviously, as far
as showing us the tradition Pig is coming out of. But it still leaves us

a "bore hog" is a tool used in underground utility construction. they range
from 2" to about 4" diameter and are usually about 3' long. they have a
large "head" that ponds a hole in the ground, waterline, fiber optic band,
