Happy As A Pig In Mud
We are city people, so we do not really know if pigs are truly happy in the mud. Come on, when was the last time that you even saw a real pig? We bet that it was at the County Fair with no mud in sight. In case you are in the same boat, we want you to know that they really are happy in the mud. “Jimmy is as happy as a pig in mud at college” means that he is having the time of his life now that he is in college.

Dog Won’t Hunt
You might not be a hunter, but you can probably figure out what this means if you think long and hard. When someone uses this phrase, it means that the dog refuses to do his job! It is not helping its owner look for birds, raccoons, and other small animals. “Dog won’t hunt,” therefore means that something “won’t work.” It is possible to use this as a way to describe something that will not get you anywhere.
