It means sweating a lot.
Answer:
The expression is meant to imply that pigs sweat a lot, but do they? This is an example of a "factoid" a statement that appears to reveal a truth but does not really possess true facts. Pigs do sweat, but not as much or as well as we humans do. Pigs, because of their thick skin, have fewer sweat glands. As a consequence they like to wallow in damp areas to keep cool. Therefor "sweating like a pig" should mean "doesn't sweat at all well"

How is an idiom different from a simile?
* * === === On the other hand, if you say "the rugby player cradled the giant egg ball" or "thistle spines pierced my skin when the cat leapt up", you are using metaphor. You are describing something as though it is actually something else. In one of my poems I call a dark cloud "a raven's wing". That's metaphor. I don't say the cloud is like a raven's wing. I wrote a poem called Silken Thingswhich is full of metaphor because the things are none of them actually made of silk. * === === Idioms are words, phrases, or expressions that cannot be taken literally. In other words, when used in everyday language, they have a meaning other than the basic one you would find in the dictionary. Every language has its own idioms. Learning them makes understanding and using a language a lot easier and more fun!
