(US, regional) An individual who makes hog calls.
An American regional term for someone who makes hog calls — the loud, distinctive shouts used to call pigs in rural farming communities. But beyond the literal meaning, it's also used informally to describe anyone with an incredibly loud, carrying voice. If someone says you've got the lungs of a hog caller, they mean you can project your voice with startling power. The term evokes old-fashioned rural Americana, county fairs, and a kind of unpretentious, agricultural way of life.
The snorting cry of a pig.
