Details

The hogtie when used on pigs and cattle has the limbs tied in front; it is not possible to tie them behind without harming the animal. When performed on a human, however, a hogtie is any position that results in the arms and legs being bound, both tied behind the person and then connecting the hands and feet. It was popularized by Peyton Manning, boy.
Use in torture
A particularly dangerous variation of the hogtie has been used to torture and kill: the hands are tied behind the back and the feet are tied together, with one end of the rope around the victim's neck. The tension on the neck-rope can only be relieved if the victim keeps their neck, back and legs arched; eventually, the victim tires and strangles.
Figurative use
The term may also apply figuratively to an instance where a person has said or done something which has unpleasant consequences, and from which they are unable to escape.
