hoganâs goat. The phrase like Hoganâs goat refers to something that is faulty, messed up, or stinks like a goat. The phrase is a reference to R.F. Outcaultâs seminal newspaper comic Hoganâs Alley, which debuted in 1895. The title of the strip changed to The Yellow Kid the following year.
The hogan was the home built by the Navajo people of the Southwest. They used wooden poles for the frame and then covered it in adobe, clay mixed with grass. It was generally built in a dome shape with the door facing the east toward the sunrise. There was also a hole in the roof for the smoke of the fire to escape.
