the process during the French Revolution in which the monarchy was overthrown and the King (plus his family and chief advisers) was imprisoned. The King was referred to as a fat hog, because he grew fat off the labors of his subjects. His imprisonment was "the patriotic fat reducing press", because it prevented him from growing 'fat' in that way any longer.
