7 i& E+ o# ]9 \9 r/ kL: 你们感恩节吃猪肉呀？我还以为感恩节都是吃火鸡呢。

M: Yeah, most people do have turkey. Pig out means to eat a large amount of food, not that we actually ate pig.

L: Pig out这个说法只能指吃东西啊？能不能用在别的地方？

0 h, C# A! u9 L* R6 ^& Y  FM: No, not really. But don't forget that when you use it in the past tense, pig out should be pigged out.
