It managed to look like a hog-wallow in spite of the built-in appliances and the stainless steel walls; the Grays were apparently not much interested in housekeeping. ❋ King, Stephen, 1947- (1991)
It is impossible to imagine the austere Puritan divines of Massachusetts inventing such verbs as to cowhide and to logroll, or such adjectives as no-account and stumped, or such adverbs as no-how and lickety-split, or such substantives as bull-frog, hog-wallow and hoe-cake; but under their eyes there arose a contumacious proletariat which was quite capable of the business, and very eager for it. ❋ Henry Louis (1921)

Surfeit and satiety overtook him in the royal hog-wallow; digestion and zest took flight. ❋ Elbert Hubbard (1885)
Now along a rolling prairie, in a route disfigured by what is known as the "hog-wallow;" then, up to a range of hills: and O gioja! the matchless beauty of a wide expanse of vale below filled with masses of dense foliage, and beyond, forest-clad hills peered down upon by a blue, misty range, far away. ❋ Unknown (1875)

There are prairies of sand, and "rock prairies," where the "cut-rock" and pebble deposits cover the arid plains; and still another variety, called the "hog-wallow prairies," where the surface for miles exhibits a rough appearance, as if it had been at some remote period turned over or "rooted" by hogs. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
