for those wondering: PIGS - Portugal, Italy, Greece & Spain (some people jump to comments)

  Yeah, trying to google that acronym would have been utterly futile. Why do smart people assume that their own familiarity with a subject is a suitable guideline for tossing around opaque acronyms without prior definition? Why are people just supposed to know the acronym?

    The article defines the acronym: He points to the acronym PIGS, coined for four crisis-torn, Southern European debtor countries of the eurozone: Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain.

    If you google "pigs eu" you can find what you are looking for. In any case, the term is defined in the article.
