英语词汇hog wild的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	hog wild
词源	hog wild. To become wildly excited or irrational due to ex- citement, anger, or even happiness. The Americanism probably originated in the mid 19th century, though it isn’t recorded un- til about 50 years later. It obviously refers to the way hogs become wildly excited when aroused and is just as obviously another phrase from the farm, still hanging in there long after most Americans began buying their bacon wrapped in cellophane.
