I think that [snip]the Hog's Head Inn grew out of the "hog-" prefix

Steven1965aaa:

One prior use of "Hogs Head" I can think of, just for fun:

"Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. K will challenge the world!"

"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", the Beatles.
