Boss Hog at the Boar Trough

A saying used by men with mustaches who grew up when “Dick” was the nation’s most popular name, used to describe an individual or organization so talented or powerful as to be unbeatable and universally revered. A far more manly and descriptive way of saying “a man amongst boys”. The literal explanation is that a boar is the biggest, baddest male pig and the individual or organization in question is the boss or alpha among the boars.

Fuck, Butch! Back in the 70’s, Easton Lacrosse was boss hog at the boar trough! Nobody wanted to play them.
