This particularly charming word stems from the German word for piglet: das Ferkel. Ferkeln is the zoological term to litter, but geferkelt combines both terms to mean: "dropping piglets" or, more precisely, giving birth. In the new context though, it refers to the upwardly-mobile couples of Prenzlauer Berg that defy Europe's negative birth-rate.
Example: Diese Tussi ist schon seit ewig schwanger. Hat sie denn noch nicht gerferkelt?!
Translation: That bimbo has been pregnant forever. Hasn't she dropped her piglets yet?

I thought this was going to be about something else entirely...something about a personal state of being...a piglet.
"Nachdem Schwimmen damit lang in einer See der Wurst, ich bin vom Wasser wie Venus auf der halben Schale...as einem beschmützliche Ferkel entstanden."
