Word: pig dog Part of Speech: noun Etymology: In Sense 2, a calque of German Schweinehund. Taj Burrow offers two (perhaps fanciful) explanations for Sense 3: that surfers tend to assume a dog-like expression when in this stance (page 119) or that the stance is low and sturdy like a dog (glossary page 171). 1. A dog bred to hunt wild pigs, typically based on breeds such as Staffordshire Terrier and English Bull Terrier. Labels: Australia, New-Zealand Example: The pig-dogs are of rather a mongrel breed, partaking largely of the bull-dog, but mixed with the cross of mastiff and greyhound, which forms the New South Wales kangaroo-dog. Example: 1961, Royal Society of New Zealand, Transactions of the Royal Society of New Zealand: Zoology, Volume 2, page 221, Pig dogs have a have a particularly high incidence of E. granulosus and T. hydatigena compared with infections in farm gogs and [this] may be related to the eating of infected sheep carrion rather than wild pigs. 2. A contemptible or worthless person. Example: He proceeded to call Heyst many names, of which ‘pig-dog’ was not the worst, with such vehemence that he actually choked himself. Example: To der pig-dog Lord Snooty from der Great Adolf Hitler. 3. A stance used for surfing tubes on one’s backhand. The surfer crouches low over a bent front knee, back leg extending back, outside hand holding onto the outside rail, and inside arm extended upwards touching the face of the wave as a guide (or digging in to slow down). Example: The trick here is to do a so-called “pig-dog”. Standing sideways on your board with your back to the wave you will stall by twisting forward (in relation to the tip of your board) shoulder back, and using the arm belonging to it, drag your hand in the water. At the same time your rear hand grabs just behind the outside rail just somewhere near your forward foot. Now look at yourself and you will know why it is called a ‘pig-dog’.
