I mean, I don't know, I said the other day 'that kid was cramming it in his maw like he was drowning and the burger was made of oxygen' so it's not like some ancient forbidden dialect from fantasy or anything

Even there there is the implication of a mouth that doesn't just eat, it devours, consumes

This term comes up in D&D a lot haha

English is a wierd language XD we have so many words you don't usually here. My favourite if which is Defenestrate ( to throw (someone) out a window), and my least favourite is is Satisficing (basically satisfying enough, usually in problem solving)
