pigpen
Muddy swine quarters
A pigpen is an enclosure where pigs are kept—a small fenced area or shed on a farm.
The word extends to any extremely messy or dirty space: Your room is a pigpen.
The insult carries the implication of filth and disorder associated with pigs wallowing in mud.
Also spelled pig pen or pigsty, which shares the figurative meaning.
