	Maybe they are a different thing in the US, but in the UK pigs in blankets are not in any way a hot dog, they are chipolatas (ie minature real sausages) wrapped in bacon, whereas hot dogs mean the franfurter type of sausage only. Like I say could well be different in the US I guess.

	i'm from Canada too, and for me pigs in a blanket are hot dogs wrapped in doughy goodness

	Mrdannydoodah and jeffhabfan: In the USA "pigs in blankets" are definitely hot dogs. (Chipolatas are not widely available here, incidentally.) They are primarily served at children's parties.

	To us Brits Pigs in blankets are cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon.. You eat them at Christmas

	Technically the Chinese zodiac is a boar, not a pig.

	no double bonus for 'porky pig'?

	El_Dandy:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 21:04 GMT		28 points
	i think the bottom answer of the first column should accept "igpay atinlay."

	"Eat like a pig" should work for Overeat.

	Saxonthebeach:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 21:21 GMT		20 points
	It's kinda misleading to title the quiz "Can you name the pigs or the phrases using 'pig', 'pork', 'bacon', etc.?" and then have all of the answers include the three named terms or "hog." Why couldn't you just title the quiz "Can you name the pigs or the phrases using 'pig', 'pork', 'bacon', or "hog?"

	amwoods13:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 21:22 GMT		20 points
	The quiz title mentions pork, but then there are no pork answers. Surely you could have found some pork answers to throw in (pork barrel would a good one).

	Sam_Hattz:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 21:39 GMT		10 points
	Definitely think you should allow 'Ig-pay Atin-lay'.

	Stran:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 21:44 GMT		3 points
	In the UK the phrase is definitely 'pigs might fly' so this should be allowed, since this isn't a 'US only' site.

	Thank you for the geographical reference in the piggly wiggly clue. When I saw the answer, I initially thought it was the same name as a board game I played as a kid, but that was Uncle Wiggly.

	Pity more people remember the title of that awful Travolta/Allen picture (42.8%) than know the name of England's greatest philosopher (37.5%).

	@chocolatl: Interesting - I've never seen them at children's parties. I associate them with cocktail parties/wedding cocktail hours/holiday parties. And they are most definitely tiny hot dogs wrapped in dough (crescent rolls traditionally but sometimes puff pastry).

	I've always heard the term "boar-headed" for stubborn. Could that be accepted as well?

	In the United States our elected officials in Congress waste too much taxpayers money with "pork-barrel" legislation.

	Good quiz, but in general, quiz makers should avoid using words from the answers in the clues (in this case, "Carry on the shoulders and back" for Piggyback. Using synonyms makes the questions more challenging.

	I did alright on the first column, but made a pig of the second.

	RyaM:	Jan 25th, 2013 at 05:57 GMT		-4 points
	I thought the clue "a mess" would be a "muddle"

	misterbobEA:	Jan 25th, 2013 at 06:34 GMT		3 points
	Since "making bacon" is acceptable for "earn money", perhaps "make bacon" should be acceptable too? It makes more sense given the clue.

	bamber:	Jan 25th, 2013 at 11:18 GMT		0 points
	Not a criticism - generally a good quiz - but overeat could also be "make a pig of oneself".
