Word of the Day: gormandize \GAWR-muhn-dahyz\, verb: To eat greedily or ravenously.

In context: “Charley swallows a great gulp of tea in token of submission, and so disperses the Druidical ruins that Miss Smallweed charges her not to gormandize, which, ‘in you girls,’ she observes, is disgusting.” — Charles Dickens, Bleak house

(Gormandize evolves into a verb from the French verb gourmandise from the familiar gourmand.)
