A few times, WikiHow has actually talked me out of doing things. Like sun-bleaching hair, because they helpfully included warnings about how "natural" methods can still ruin it.
I used it once. I didn't know how to set a game of solitaire and it was actually helpful... Now it just looks like a super satirical joke. But it's not
I think it might be along the lines of that one CGP grey video that talks about ways to maximize sadness. It’s showing someone how to act by telling them the opposite of what they should be doing. The animal part kinda throws this off though...

This is all pretty funny considering in Germany it's flipped. A cop is referred to as a Bull and a fat pig is for when you want to be a horrible person to someone who's overweight. Don't do it folks.

Loyal to each other ? But their first mission is to protect and serve the citizen. Not themselves and hiding things from the public to cover their ass. That’s why they inherited the term « pig »
Pigs are pretty greedy and consume anything put in front of them. The term is closely tied to the "doughnut eating" stereotype. Pigs also do love digging and playing in mud and are generally considered dirty.
Its just the fattest most slovenly animal someone thought of, so it stuck.

I guess it’s just that cows are so large and heavy overall. A cow in your living room would be pretty ungainly. A lady with a big matronly bosom might look a bit cow-like.
“Fat cow” is only ever used for women because cows are female. “Fat pig” is not just for the men, but the women and children, too.
You also use "pig" in America to describe someone who is sloppy, rude, or without good manners. If someone gets food all over themselves while eating, they might end up being called a pig. If someone cat calls at you, you can call them a pig. If someone burps loudly, you can also call them a pig.
It used to be that way. In old cartoons you might see people animated to look like a skinny cow, Olive Oyl was animated that way a couple times I think.
Announce to everyone around you that you have to go to the bathroom, and that you think that they should all go too, as they have been holding it in for quite a while.
I used to ride a bicycle to work, and I would ride past this house with a good sized field with some horses in it. One day, the horses were hanging out right at the fence next to the bike path, so I decided I would say hello. Now, the thing is, I don't actually speak horse. So I improvised. I said, "moo moo moo, moo moo, moo moo,"which, of you speak any of the more common cow dialects, is a fairly common greeting, in the hope maybe at least one of the horses spoke cow. They all just ignored me, which I felt was pretty rude. I got to work, and told my sister about my encounter, but she said it was strange for me to expect horses to understand cow. Anyhow, she said, the phrasing should be, "moo moo, moo moo moo, moo moo." I countered that if you went to France and didn't speak French you might try a phrase or two in a language you did speak; English, or German, or Spanish for example. And I maintain "moo moo moo, moo moo, moo moo," is a perfectly understandable bovine salutation. Sis and I never came to an agreement on that.
Moo moo moo, moo moo, moo moo to all of you.
