Somehow I think today’s word resembles me. Porcine was not meant personally, I hope.

There is an annual porcine fest or gathering of porcupines in new Hampshire of Free State Project members.

The porcine symbol of the Free State Project was adopted, as a porcupine just wants to live his life and be left alone. Bother him, and face the consequences.

So is it a pig or a porcupine? Both are strange mascots. A++

Someone was thinking of the porcine Chris Christie when he chose the word of the day!

I’m usually decrying the Christmas creep in the stores.

But I confess that I bought a $5 CD of Christmas songs yesterday. In my defense, I had to kill time in the store waiting for a prescription. And it’s got a lot of classic songs. Just about everything you’d expect except Johnny Mathis.

It has everything from Bing Crosby to Mel Torme to the Chipmunks and Jose Feliciano.

A curious word, porcine is. I usually think it means fat. Less so when relating to habits and behaviors. Then it means dirty, piggy, a slob.

Wild boar, however, are aggressive and pugnacious, hence a porcine bully, not fat or dirty but mean.

Then there is porcupine, a poison quill laden beast, not to be messed with.

Whatever its usage a porcine personality is not one to be trusted. Hillary fer sur. Some say Trump is porcine. That gets the blood boiling and the dander up.

Call me porcine? I'll show you porcine.

Technically speaking, it is pig. Many FSP folks use it as an adjective for porcupine.

To the best of my knowledge, pig is correct.

The government made a film about their study of overweight lesbians and why they hate men....

It was not a very interesting bit of porcinema. Sort of like paying to see Hillary sequel like a pig (er, testify) in front of congress.

In Congress the last several years many porcine budgets have been voted for by rinos.
