pig sty

Muddy swine enclosure

A pig sty is an enclosure where pigs are kept, typically a small shed or pen with a muddy yard.

Because pigs root in dirt and aren't particular about cleanliness, pig sty extends to any filthy, cluttered, or disordered space: Clean up your room—it looks like a pig sty.

Also spelled pigsty or pig-sty.
