Keep to oneself

HOG

Think of a farm animal known for greedily taking more than its share, especially when it comes to food or attention.

"Keep to oneself" hints at the idea of hoarding or selfishly holding onto something. The word "hog" fits because it can mean to take more than your share, like someone who hogs the spotlight or the blankets. In this case, it’s a playful twist—pigs (hogs) are often associated with greed, so the clue uses that cultural link to lead to the answer."
