swine
Sty-dwelling livestock animals
Swine is the formal or technical term for pigs, used especially in agriculture and veterinary contexts: swine flu, swine fever.
The plural is also swine.
As an insult, swine means a contemptible person—greedy, cruel, or morally repugnant: He's an absolute swine.
The insult sounds slightly old-fashioned or British.
