I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Maybe it's not "an incontrovertibly Rodinesque pose". Maybe the Very Wise Pig is issuing a famous Italian hand gesture: image
An astute observation, TBH. Possibly, the pig is not so much wise as clever.

If you ever make a trip to the U.K, here are a few U.S. English words not to say in England. While they are common in the U.S., they are quite obscene across the pond. So, no "fanny" packs.
I've heard most of these, probably from my several visits to England, but other readers will likely benefit.
