gormandize\GAWR-muhn-dahyz \ , verb;

1. To eat greedily or ravenously.


That's one of those words we fat people like to use to describe our otherwise piggish eating habits.

It's Because My Soul is Cool

Your Soul Is Connected to the Fall



You are a somewhat sensitive soul with a tough exterior. You are street smart and wise about the world.

You have the heart of a poet, but you're not too eager to let anyone else see it.

You are very creative and deeply talented. You are still looking for the perfect outlet for your expression.

You embrace change and think the cycles of life are beautiful. You don't shrink away from the darker elements of life.
