What does the phrase 'wear like a pig's nose' (I saw it in an old overalls ad) supposed to mean?

Jeeves

I take it to mean that they never wear out. Pigs spend their whole lives rooting for food with their noses and they just never wear out. Apr 09 02, 8:56 PM

I agree with Jeeves but would question the word 'never' as the natural life expectancy of a pig is about ten years, whereas sows in factory farms rarely live more than two and one half years. Apr 09 02, 9:22 PM
