The PiggyBac (PB) transposon system employs a genetically engineered transposase enzyme to insert a gene into a cell's genome. It is built upon the natural PiggyBac (PB) transposable element (transposon), enabling the back and forth movement of genes between chromosomes and genetic vectors such as plasmids through a "cut and paste" mechanism.
Adult pigs generally weigh between 140 and 300 kg (310 and 660 lb), though some breeds can exceed this range.

So it's not an embarrassingly grandiose ...
He intended it as a light-hearted satire [11] on consumerism and class distinction. [2] Through its theme of social strata within a community of farm animals (in this case, one consisting entirely of pigs), [ 12 ] [ 13 ] the song references George Orwell 's 1945 novel Animal Farm .
