A real common italian interjection, it literally means "God is a pig".
Mostly used in northern Italy, but known and understood everywhere.
Due to its blasphemic nature, it may be disturbing for some people hearing this, especially Christians. It's not advisable to insert a "porco dio" into a sentence if you don't know well the person who you're talking at.
It has various forms and variations, like "orcoddio", "dio porco", "dio maiale" ecc... and every form is also customizable on your personal preference ("Porco dio bastardo cane e la madonna puttana" is a way stronger and powerful exclamation)
It's an all-round imprecation, usable in almost every sentence you can think about:

"porco dio" is an Italian expression which literally means "god is a pig", or "pork god". It is widely used in Italy, although badly seen from very strict catholic people. Most people say it when they're alone or with somebody they know (dare saying porco dio when you're with somebody you don't know at all!).Other forms that mean the same thing are: orcoddio, orco dio and dio porco. It can also be mixed up with other words that are usually insult to other people or also other swearings (see example b for usage), although these forms are rarely used and usally it's because something really bad happened. It usually expresses anger/frustration, although it has become very popular and therefore it's pretty overused nowadays.
a) "Dio porco la prof di merda mi ha dato di nuovo un cinque, orcoddio!"
("For fuck's sake, that fucking teacher gave me a shit mark in the test again, goddamit!")
b) "Aaaah! Dio porco schifoso bastardo!" (pain)
("Aaaah! Fucking hell what a pain!")
c) "Porco dio saranno mica i testimoni di Geova? No eh diocan digli che i signori sono fuori, non ho tempo per stargli dietro."
("Fuck, they can't be Jehovah's witnesses, can they? Tell them we're out, we don't have time for their shit.")
d) "Vittorio porco dio ma da quant'è che sei in ritardo?"
("Goddamit Vittorio, we've been waiting for you here for almost one hour!")
("For fuck's sake, that fucking teacher gave me a shit mark in the test again, goddamit!")

Porco Dio (lit. "pork God", where "pork" is an insult), also said and spelled as "porcodio" or "porcoddio" (every form has slight differencies of using) is an italian expression part of the huge group of italian cuss words known as "bestemmie". It's the most used and basic bestemmia and like all the other ones it's highly offensive and should only be used among friends who you know would not get offended. It's used basically in every kind of situation but it's real purpose is to be used mixed with some good italian hand gestures as the ultimate imprecation when you are REALLY mad. Don't over use it tho because only 12 yo kids think it's cool
