Gormanitarian<\/strong>: \/gawr-man-i-tair-ee-uhn<\/em>\/ Joe, the ultimate gormanitarian, was quoted as saying, ” I ate six helpings of everything for all the starving children in the world. God bless them and pass the leftover ham and potatoes.” <\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> GORMANITARIAN – noun – from GORMANDIZE (to eat greedily, or ravenously) + HUMANITARIAN (having concern for and helping to improve the welfare and happiness of people)

Expiatetion<\/strong>: \/ex-pi-ate-shun<\/em>\/ Expiatetion is the prime factor that led to an entire generation of fat people. In the 50’s, children grew up believing that if they ate all their food it would somehow make up for the suffering of starving kids in Europe who “would be happy to see that food”. In the words of Alan Sherman, “They kept starving, and I got fat!” Etymology:<\/em> expiation: a means of atonement for wrongdoings or paying for a wrong + ate: past tense of eat
\nAlan Sherman was a 1960s predecessor to Weird Al Yanckovic who made several records which changed the lyrics of songs. His most well known hit was “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah.” He died in 1973 at the age of 48 with diabetis and emphysema due largely to his weight. In the song, “Why I got Fat” he blamed his mother for making him clean his plate to help the starving children in Europe – something every kid growing up in the 50’s and 60’s heard from their mothers.

Obligeater<\/strong>: \/ob-lig-eet-er<\/em>\/ Although the servings were huge, obligeater that he was, Doug polished off everything on the plate Etymology:<\/em> obligate, eater Created by:<\/em> Koekbroer.<\/p>\n

Compassioneat<\/strong>: \/kum PASH un eet<\/em>\/ Mr. Hoover always thinks of those less fortunate as he enjoys his meals, remembering his mother’s words that “there are children in China who would love to eat” whatever is on his plate. He is very compassioneat, sometimes “dedicating” each of his second, third, etc., helpings to some unknown starving person. He even considers eating food off the floor to be “helping Mother Earth” by “recycling” something that would otherwise go uneaten. “Waste not, want not,” he always says. More like “Waste not, waist YES.” Etymology:<\/em> compassionate + eat Created by:<\/em> karenanne.<\/p>\n
