Well...it isn't sweating like a stuck pig...the saying is "Bleeding like a stuck pig"......a stuck pig has been stabbed with a knife or another sharp object.
The idiom "bleed like a stuck pig" refers to the fact that pigs will bleed a lot when stabbed. It originated to make a point about vulnerable people.
Yes, but sweating like a pig is better.
The saying is "bleed like a stuck pig," since a stuffed pig wouldn't bleed.
Well i don't know where it originated, but i guess when people think of pigs they think they are dirty, sloppy, and gross. So sweat is gross so i guess they think that when they are sweating they think that a pig would be dirty like that too, so they would use that phrase!
Pigs do not sweat. They dont have functional sweat glands.

Telling someone that they eat like a pig, would be an example of metaphors about pigs. Sweating like a pig is another one.

It means 'to bleed profusely'.
"Bleed like a stuck pig" is a phrase used to describe profuse bleeding, originating from a hog slaughtering technique whereby the pig is stabbed in a main artery, usually with an anticoagulant on the device used for stabbing, and dies by bleeding profusely.
The phrase "sweating like a pig" actually has nothing to do with the animal that you might find on a farm. Instead, it refers to iron "sows" and "piglets" made when smelting pig iron. In traditional iron smelting, liquid iron is poured into a mold shaped like one long line with many smaller lines branching off of it at right angles. This looks similar to piglets feeding from their mother, so these pieces became known as pigs. After the pigs are poured into the sand, they cool, causing the surrounding air to reach its dew point and turn into moisture on the pigs, like they are sweating. When the pig is sweating, it's cool enough to be moved.
