swines

Dirty farm animals

Swines is a plural of swine, meaning pigs or pig-like people.

The standard plural of swine is swine itself—a herd of swine—but swines appears when emphasizing multiple individual offenders: Those swines cheated us out of everything.

The form sounds deliberately emphatic or slightly archaic.
