Cutting a fat hog is like working in a cushy government job where you are getting high wages, excellent benefits, excellent retirement plan, very easy work, and almost no chance of getting laid off or fired. It can also mean something like winning the lottery, inheriting a huge sum of money, or something else that provides your life with lots of affluence, power or advantage.
