Difficult to imagine how a pig would write precisely, but it’s safe to say that it wouldn’t be very stylish, right? We can imagine their handwriting would be very gross, full of stains and very difficult to read. (Just like mine, to be honest…)
Then, what a perfect comparison for someone with bad handwriting!
If you know someone with a gross handwriting, you can tell this person “Tu écris comme un cochon.” or even “Tu écris vraiment comme un cochon !” (You really write like a pig!)
But if the person has a clean but very tiny and difficult to read handwriting, use instead: “Tu écris comme un chat.” (You write like a cat). Because if cats knew how to write, it would probably be a very tiny and lazy handwriting (between two naps).
In the next paragraph, you will find some variations with other pronouns in case you need them!
