go the whole hog

informal do something completely or thoroughly

ORIGIN: of several origins suggested, one interprets hog as the American slang term for a ten cent piece; another refers the idiom to one of Cowper's poems (1779), which discusses Muslim uncertainty about which parts of the pig are acceptable as food, leading to the whole hog' being eaten, because of confusion over Mohammed's teaching.
