Pig?[edit]

Does sense 1 just mean "a pig" (in which case it should say so) or does it cover other animals too? 86.154.141.222 13:17, 15 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

I've changed it to just "pig". Equinox 19:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Plural[edit]

According to Garner's fourth (and CambGEL too),

When used in the derogatory sense of a crude boor, the plural may be either swine(s) <they’re such swine> <they’re both swines>. --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:37, 5 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
