I love how it's an attempt to make my job sound more interesting......It just cracks me up how you people play psychologist over something I admit to making up, and using in a smartass manner.
"So you're a pilot?"
"Naval Aviator"
As for using the word Pig, that is like calling a white guy a Honkey. It has absolutely no effect, and is more likely to induce laughter. I'm from the new school more or less. I haven't been on the job long enough to brood resentment towards all of mankind yet. The best way to rile up a cop is to make fun of their specific assignment or position.
Park Police/Park Ranger are Squirrel Cops for example. Police in small towns hate Mayberry references. Call a motorcycle cop Ponch, etc.
