meat from a pig
Meat from a pig that people eat.
استعمال کا انداز:
cook [pork]; eat [pork] with [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"a pork"* when they should say *"some pork"* for the general meat. Use countable nouns for specific pieces, e.g. *"a pork chop"*, *"three slices of pork"*. Learners also confuse *pig* (the animal) with *pork* (the meat).

politically motivated local spending
Government money spent on local projects mostly to help politicians look good, not because the whole country needs them.
استعمال کا انداز:
[pork] in [a bill]; cut [the] pork from [something]

ہم معنی الفاظ
pork-barrel spending (More explicit and slightly more formal; clearly refers to this kind of political spending.)
متضاد الفاظ
austerity (A policy of strict limits on government spending, the opposite of adding extra local projects for political gain.)

have sex with (vulgar)
