trough
Livestock's dining container
A trough is a long, narrow container for holding water or feed for animals.
The shape extends to similar forms: a trough between waves, a trough in a graph showing a low point, or an atmospheric trough indicating a band of low pressure.
Figuratively, a trough is any low period: The economy hit a trough in 2009.
To have one's snout in the trough is to take greedy advantage of resources.
