The "Pork Chop" is an old term that refers to North Florida. If you take out the panhandle and add North Central Florida, you can see what it is shaped like.

Back before the "one man one vote" decision ended the old system of apportioning state legislatures, State Senators and Legislators from North Florida effectively ran the state, as there are more counties in the northern part of the state, despite the fact that it has less population than South Florida and the Gulf Coast. The powerful State Senators from North Florida were subsequently referred to as the "Pork Chop Gang."
