Elya Yelnats was called a "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather" in the novel "Holes" by Louis Sachar due to a family curse that stemmed from his actions in the past. Elya failed to fulfill a promise to Madame Zeroni, which led to misfortune for his descendants. This description reflects the family’s long-standing reputation and the consequences of Elya's choices, as the curse affected multiple generations. The phrase humorously emphasizes the absurdity and depth of the family's plight.
