John,

Or we could have some fun at your expense posthumously if you are
killed by your "pig"!

I also dislike the term and think that pole transformers deserve the
respect of being called by the proper name, distribution transformer
works for me too.
 
Perhaps if they were, some of the newbies to the hobby would take them
a little more seriously than they seem to now and there would be a
less worry about which one of them was going to kill themselves first.
Part of the fun? Pole transformers can be anything but fun in
inexperienced hands!

Just my $.02
