He sounds like a compulsive obnoxious when it comes to food. - petaj, 2007-06-20: 04:01:00

Timothy should get together with Galwaywegian's character - sort of a Jack Sprat scenario - they'd chew and lick the platter clean - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-20: 09:07:00

Timothy could masticate And Gal could lick and suck And so betwixt the two of them The lunch was out of luck - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-20: 11:29:00

Timothy could eat a cake, and Gal could lick the bowl. But neither did so modestly. They had no self-control. - Clayton, 2007-06-20: 17:19:00

Timothy could chew like mad, and Gal would snort it up. Chomp, grind, smack, slurp, lick, sip, sup. - petaj, 2007-06-20: 23:29:00

Pronunciation: dih-VID-ee-oh-PHAGE-ee-AT-rick

Sentence: Oliver would be the first to admit he had a few caloric intake issues and a hardy appetite, but his pal Laurel had taken a quantum leap into the bizarre world of MICROINGESTION. She seemed to believe that smaller portions, taken more frequently but in greater quantity would enable her to reduce her vast waistband. Her tragically DIVIDIOPHAGIATRIC behavior extended to the belief that ingesting a hundred jello shots was less intoxicating than a small tumbler of Wolfschitt Vodka. Laurel's morning bowl of steam was usually followed by nine hundred Cheerios she had diligently laid out the night before. For dessert, she limited herself to one AEROGELATO and a fistful of mini-M&Ms...Fortunately, Ollie took her to the mental hospial, where she spends her days in the DIVIOPHAGIATRIC ward, counting Sen-Sens and swapping Mini-Chicklets with the patients. Laurel managed to lessen her gross tonnage, but it was probably the hospital food - NOT the pretzel stix that did it.

Etymology: DIVide+IDIO+PHAGE+iatric= DIVIDIOPHAGIATRIC___DIVIDE:to reduce into discrete yummy portions___ -IDIO:suffix, Greek, from idios — : one's own : personal : separate : distinct___PHAGE: Greek -phagos one that eats, from -phagos ___-IATRIC: of or relating to (such) medical treatment or healing

Thanks J-wok. Good ento, but the word lacks MOXIE....that certain appeal that makes for a snappy Verbotomy. - metrohumanx, 2008-08-13: 19:50:00

Sentence: Candy can't understand why she can't lose weight. She scrupulously avoids starches after 5:00 pm ("it turns right to fat"). She always carefully counts her daily calories. She eats lots of celery ("it takes more calories to digest it than it has in it, so that's negative calories"). She also eats a lot of spicy foods too ("that revs your metabolism and burns more calories"). Of course, drinks don't really count because they are mostly water; the same goes for soup. And everyone knows that the bites you take while you're cooking, to "taste test" the food, don't count. She does eat whatever is left on her kids' plates, but those calories don't count either because she eats standing up.

Etymology: oddball + bulimia

Sentence: When the doctor told Monica that she was obese and advised her to lose weight, she went home and devised, what she thought, was a foolproof plan. She decided to use the bingenibbler method which involved taking very small bites of food while still consuming exactly the same amount as before.
