Hogger
/ˈhɒɡ.ər/noun
A person or thing that takes or uses more than a fair share; also, a term related to one who hogs something.
Did you know?‘Hogger’ is a later English formation from *hog*, and the insult works because English has long used pig imagery for greed, so the word feels almost ritualistically accusatory.
