A pig that outgrew its barn name and your willingness to share.

means A pig raised for meat (especially a large one), or, as a verb, to take more than your fair share of something.

from The noun 'hog' goes back to Old English 'hogg,' of uncertain origin — possibly from a Celtic root referring to a castrated or young pig, though etymologists aren't certain. The verb sense, 'to hog' something, emerged much later, drawing on the animal's reputation — fair or not — for greedy eating and taking up more room than it should.
