Gorgers

Gorgers, in a general sense, refers to individuals who eat excessively and often greedily. This behavior frequently emphasizes an insatiable appetite for food, the quantity consumed being more important than quality or refinement. The term implies a lack of self-control and potentially a disregard for social norms surrounding eating habits. Historically, 'gorger' has been used to describe those who overindulge at feasts or tables, and it can carry a negative connotation, implying gluttony or a lack of refinement. In modern usage, it still denotes excessive consumption, but the severity of the implied criticism can vary.
