Slang俚语: 我没吃过猪肉,还没见过猪跑?I‘ve never eaten pork, haven't I seen pigs run?



我没吃过猪肉,还没见过猪跑啊?

The literal meaning- I‘ve never eaten pork, haven't I seen pigs run?

The actual meaning - Although I haven't experienced that situation, I knew it from other ways.

e.g.  张三老爱吹嘘自己的房子多气派,其实,他的房子算什么呀。我没吃过猪肉还没见过啊?我房产经纪,见过的豪宅多了去了

Zhang San always loves to brag about how luxurious his house is. In fact, his house is nothing. Although I‘ve never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run? When I was a real estate agent, I had seen lots of  luxury houses.
