Whoever wrote the bit on idioms is terrible at idioms.

"Pigs Get Fat. Hogs get Slaughtered" means those who work hard will get what they deserve but those who try to gain something for nothing will not get very far.

Um - no it doesn't. Hogs =/= those who try to gain something for nothing, and pigs certainly =/= people who work hard. Are pigs known for working hard? I must have missed that.

The expression means don't get overly greedy. If you're doing well enough (ie, are a pig), be content. If you get overly greedy, you'll get French Revolutioned.
