"...a phrase used by coastal Mainers. Of obscure origin and having nothing to do with the flesh of a pig, it denotes appreciation of anything from a profitable haul while fishing to a jug of cider, to a good looking pan of biscuits." --taken from "How to Talk Yankee", authors Gerald E. Lewis and Tim Sample, The Thorndike Press, copyright 1979
