Subject: RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?
[citation needed] -

“A Hog-Eye was distinctive flat-bottom boat or barge used in the shallow waters surrounding San Francisco Bay during the California Gold Rush, named from the dismissive name 'ditch-hog' applied to rivermen by deep-water sailors [citation needed]

The term "hog-eye" was used in early blues songs as a euphemism for the female genitalia [citation needed]”
