Answer: HIGH ON THE HOG
(Daffy’s got to get himself a better agent! Or, maybe a better accountant, because he should be pretty close to Porky in stature. There were no new clue words today, but – surprisingly – all of the jumbles came up as new. I didn’t have any trouble getting them. The answer letter layout was pretty nifty. But, with the great cartoon, and the leading nature of the clue/question, I got the answer immediately. I always love it when Jeff gives us Looney Tunes characters! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

I got all the words instantly, but hadn’t heard of the phrase HIGH ON THE HOG before, so it took me a few seconds. I guessed ON THE immediately, and the rest followed after a little thought.
Probably an American colloquialism, Vijay. — YUR
The phrase definitely springs from USA’s agrarian past, and is said to come from the fact that the part of the pig that’s high off the ground – the loin – is much better to eat than the feet, knuckles, hocks, etc. (Sometimes it’s “high off the hog.”) Very few Americans raise swine anymore, but the phrase “high on the hog” is common, and similar to “in the clover,” “in the chips” and “in high cotton.”
And, now Vijay has heard straight from the hal’s mouth! — YUR 😉
Well, I don’t live High on the Hog because I have trouble Bringing Home the Bacon. 😀
NOTION was the only word that gave me pause; had to look at it a number of times. Looney Tunes is always fun.
Thanks, guys, for the explanation! This blog rocks. 🙂
