road hog

The energy industry has become the stock market’s equivalent of a road hog.

Many people still remember the Hummer as a voracious gas guzzler and an oversized road hog.

We were accustomed to them now, and we didn’t hesitate to roll down the windows, put out our hands, and tell road hogs what we thought of them.

With lanes wide enough for two and sometimes even three bikes, riders are for the most part cordial and careful with nary a road hog in the peloton.

His tone is gentle, occasionally chiding, and he seems most comfortable in the center lane, allowing the road hogs to pass by while he holds steady at the wheel.
