ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hogtie

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a cowboy movie where the bad guys capture the good guy and tie him up so he can't escape? That's kind of what hogtie means.

When someone is hogtied, their hands are tied behind their back and then their ankles are tied together too. This makes it really hard for them to move around or escape, like a pig with its legs tied up.

But hogtying isn't just something from the movies or games, it can be really dangerous and even against the law in some places because it can harm the person who is tied up. So remember, always treat others with kindness and respect, and never try to tie up anyone like a hog.
