hog-dogging
n.— «Richardson’s previous group of outstanding players who inspired this hostility might have responded more to Richardson’s liking than his current players.

They reveled and played lights out when confronted with such hostility.» —“Bud’s Favorites at Moment of Truth” by Bill Connors Tulsa World (Okla.) Mar. 2, 1995. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
