Smog is a slang word blending smoke and Fog. Could be related to certain types of fires ( oil refineries, yecch!) or more stable like-pollution from chemical industries. I have heard the term Smog Hog applied to a number of old and fuel -inefficient vehicles. It was applied to some piston-engine trainers by the airmen, and in a differnt sort of lift- derisively to the huge cranes they had at Koppers Koke in Hudson County . These had modern truss booms, were live steam and coke-fired and ran on paralell sets of tracks- l8 foot gauge.l My guess they weighed as much as a full-sized locomotive such as the GG-L. I have heard these cranes derisively called Smog Hogs, sadly they are extinct. They were made byLink Belt and called, officially, Broad Gauge locomotive cranes.
