ANSWER: Einswine
In English, 똑똑한 돼지 means "smart pig," so if a smart person can be referred to as an Einstein, why can't a smart pig be referred to as an Einswine?
I have been told that the above joke is an example of an 아재개그, which literally means "ajossi (아재) gag (개그)" or "uncle joke." An "uncle joke," or dad joke, is often more silly than funny.
The Korean word 아재 is a less respectful form of the Korean word 아저씨, which is often translated as "uncle" even though it is not normally used to refer to a blood-relative uncle but rather to someone who is about one's father's or uncle's age.
Younger kids seem to like "uncle jokes" more than teenagers.
