Hi,

How will we use this idiom?

"Go the whole hog"

Is this sentence correct?

When John visits me I go the whole hog but he does not asks me even for a glass of water.

Thanks

Your idiom means that you spare no expense when entertaining your guests.
You are the perfect host. You offer all you can afford.

ps. Please send your address, I need a good square meal.

Smile Smile Kitos.
