piggy

Like a hog

Piggy is a child's word for a pig, often used affectionately or playfully.

It extends to anything pig-shaped or pig-related: a piggy bank, piggy toes.

As an adjective, piggy describes greedy or gluttonous behavior: Don't be so piggy with the cookies.

Piggy eyes are small and close-set, like a pig's.
