5. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
hog
n.,vt.
1. Favored term to describe programs or hardware that seem to eat far more
than their share of a system's resources, esp. those which noticeably
degrade interactive response. Not used of programs that are simply
extremely large or complex or that are merely painfully slow themselves.
More often than not encountered in qualified forms, e.g., memory hog, core
hog, hog the processor, hog the disk. ?A controller that never gives up the
I/O bus gets killed after the bus-hog timer expires.?
2. Also said of people who use more than their fair share of resources
(particularly disk, where it seems that 10% of the people use 90% of the
disk, no matter how big the disk is or how many people use it). Of course,
once disk hogs fill up one filesystem, they typically find some other new
one to infect, claiming to the sysadmin that they have an important new
project to complete.

7. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906) |
HOG, n. A bird remarkable for the catholicity of its appetite and
serving to illustrate that of ours. Among the Mahometans and Jews,
the hog is not in favor as an article of diet, but is respected for
the delicacy and the melody of its voice. It is chiefly as a songster
that the fowl is esteemed; the cage of him in full chorus has been
known to draw tears from two persons at once. The scientific name of
this dicky-bird is _Porcus Rockefelleri_. Mr. Rockefeller did not
discover the hog, but it is considered his by right of resemblance.
