    I assume you mean “analogy” instead of “apology”.

    The “THE_PACK” community is a parody of US biker (motorcycle) culture, where many men refer to their motorcycle as their “hog”.

    “Hog” is also a slang term for a man’s penis.

    “Cranking my hog” is slang for male masturbation. I think it’s also used to refer to revving up one’s motorcycle in the biker community, but I’m not 100% sure of that (my old man was a biker so I am loosely familiar with some of their slang).

    They intentionally misspell “hog” as “hawg” for fun. So it’s just a bunch of guys standing around jokingly referencing masturbation under the guise of talking about riding their motorcycles.

      Specifically a hog is a Harley (or really any touring bike now), large, slow turning, and they start with H, and yeah you could call racing the engine (the vroom vroom throttle thing) cranking, though that’s more of an action on older motorcycles you’d do to actually start the thing

      The term from male masturbation actually comes from crank-start engines
