• twelfth of the signs of the Asian zodiac = pork (on menus)
The pig emoji is your full‑bodied farm friend—the whole hog, not just the cute piggy face. It pops up when someone admits they demolished an entire pizza, jokes about living in a pigsty, or leans into cottagecore vibes and barnyard banter. It’s also a cheeky stand‑in for bacon/BBQ cravings, food baby confessions, and the timeless phrase “going ham.” Expect it to cameo in Peppa Pig memes, road‑trip-to-the-farm posts, and anytime someone’s feeling delightfully grubby after a mud run.
On Apple/iOS, the pig appears in left‑facing side profile with a bubblegum‑pink barrel body, tiny triangular ears, a dot eye, black hooves, and that unmistakable corkscrew tail—shaded softly so it looks plush and huggable. In texts, it swings between playful self‑roast (“oink oink, I pigged out”), ironic sass (“behold, my room: a pigsty”), and wholesome farmcore aesthetics. It occasionally nods to the Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Pig (think abundance, luck, and comfy prosperity). For clarity: pig = full body; pig face = front-on cuteness; pig nose = just the snout; boar = the wild, tusky cousin. However you use it, this little oinker brings a mix of foodie chaos, rural charm, and internet gremlin energy.
A pig is a mammal used primarily as livestock but can also be used as a domesticated pet. Pigs are stereotyped as being muddy, dirty and ravenous. Calling someone a "pig" is a pejorative term and can mean filthy, greedy or disgusting. Famous pigs: Wilbur from E.B. White's Charlotte's Web, Miss Piggy from Jim Henson's The Muppet Show, and Babe. "That'll do pig, that'll do."
