Happy As A Pig In Mud

We are the city’s citizens, but we just don’t know if the pigs in the mud are really happy. Come on, when was the last time you had a live pig, too? We bet it was at the County Fair that there was no dirt in sight. If you’re on the same voyage, then we want you to know they’re just comfortable in the rain. “Jimmy is as happy at college as a pig in the mud” means he’s having the time of his life now that he’s in college.

Dog Won’t Hunt

You may not be a hunter, but you can definitely find out what this entails if you think long and hard. It means that the dog refuses to do his job anytime anyone uses this word! It does not encourage the owner to hunt for birds, raccoons, and other small animals. Therefore, “dog won’t hunt” suggests that this “will not work.” This can be used as a way to explain something that won’t get you anywhere.
