In all actuality, a pig is a term used for a young swine that is growing and generally less than 120lbs. A hog is a term used for a full grown swine weighing in at over 120 lbs. Also, a pig wears lipstick.

Good answer....A pig is a hog -- hog is a generic name for all swine -- but a hog is not a pig. In the terminology of hog raising, a pig is a baby hog less than ten weeks old.
Now you know!!!
