Gourmand- someone who loves to eat and drink
Ex: We take you live to downtown Philadelphia where local bar patron Bert is now going to offer his thoughts on the female situation at his current location: “These skanks are just getting blitzed and denying dudes left and right. We all know they’re just going to head home to stuff their drunk whore faces like that fat gourmand from Man v. Food, what was his name?” *Ray, a larger man in a Philadelphia Eagles jersey sitting at the next bar stool chimes in* “Adam Richman, it was Adam Richman”. Okay, thanks for that colorful description, Bert. Now kicking it back to Tom Kaminski in the WCBS News radio chopper 880, what do you have for us, Tom?
Panegyric- a speech or writing intended to praise someone or something
Ex: Landon was met with cold stares and deafening silence after delivering his panegyric on Muammar Gaddafi. In his defense, how was me meant to know that the series of talks titled “4Fascism: Authoritarian Analyses” just meant that there were 4 speakers, not that they were a bunch of free thinkers championing fascist ideologies.
The gourmand definition today is at another level. Brilliant.
