hog n.,vt. 1. favored term to describe programs or hardware that seem
   to eat far more than their share of a system's resources, esp. those
   which noticeably degrade interactive response. _not_ used of programs
   that are simply extremely large or complex or that are merely painfully
   slow themselves. more often than not encountered in qualified forms,
   e.g., `memory hog', `core hog', `hog the processor', `hog the disk'. "a
   controller that never gives up the i/o bus gets killed after the bus-hog
   timer expires." 2. also said of _people_ who use more than their fair
   share of resources particularly disk, where it seems that 10 of the
   people use 90 of the disk, no matter how big the disk is or how many
   people use it. of course, once disk hogs fill up one filesystem, they
   typically find some other new one to infect, claiming to the sysadmin
   that they have an important new project to complete.

[8] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)

hog, n.  a bird remarkable for the catholicity of its appetite and
serving to illustrate that of ours.  among the mahometans and jews,
the hog is not in favor as an article of diet, but is respected for
the delicacy and the melody of its voice.  it is chiefly as a songster
that the fowl is esteemed; the cage of him in full chorus has been
known to draw tears from two persons at once.  the scientific name of
this dicky-bird is _porcus rockefelleri_.  mr. rockefeller did not
discover the hog, but it is considered his by right of resemblance.
