You may not be aware of it, but we use animal idioms just about everyday in many areas of life. These short expressions come from specific animals such as ants or dogs. They are not that difficult to understand. You can learn the meaning to these short phrases just as you would anything else. Today’s BBC Learning English Professor proposes to discuss three animal idioms related to pigs. 

They are:
 
1.  Pigs might fly.
2. This place is a pigsty.
3. To make a pig’s ear of something.

You will sound like a pro!”
