I've always felt it strange that the pork butt comes from the front end and the ham from the rear end of a hog.

Mo, here is another southern expression for you...eating high on the hog. It means eating really good food. My brother says that the expression came about because when a hog is slaughtered, it is hung upside down and the ham is the high part of the hog...and the best part.
