18 reasons why pigs are the worst...NOT!
#11
Yes, pigs are lovely animals - and can be very friendly, too, if they are given love and attention. But there again, that goes for most animals....

By the way, the title of this thread caught my eye. The ".....Not!" expression used to puzzle me. It has spread from the USA to Europe since the 90s, but I always wondered what the origin was. Here is the answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..._Not!

We use the expression NOT in Canada.  It is really for sarcasm. If you don't say NOT, people sometimes miss the sarcasm and think you mean what you are saying. I wanted people to be absolutely sure that I was not posting about pigs being the worst.

I never thought about the word not being used like that all around the world.
