Televinken • Gustav, Jag undrade var benämningen hog-line kommer från. Det kanske är fler som är nyfikna. Såhär står det på curling canada (https://www.curling.ca/about-curling/the-history-of-curling/):

” Where did hog-line violations come from?
According to Scots curlers, the term [“hog-line”] is derived from Scottish agriculture. In a country where so many sheep were raised, a lamb in its first year of life was called “a hog.” In time, the name came to represent a straggler, a weakling, the one most likely to fall prey to predators, or to be culled from the flock. Similarly, a stone that could barely make it into the playing area was called a hog, and was therefore culled from the rest.”
