To eat greedily or gluttonously; to stuff oneself with food.
From Middle English and Old French origins, possibly related to 'gutter' or 'gut.' The word evolved as a variant or imitative form suggesting the sounds and actions of eating voraciously.
This delightfully crude verb was more common in Elizabethan English when people had fewer polite synonyms—Shakespeare's contemporaries would have recognized it immediately as slang for pigging out.
