EN: to eat everything up, to devour
This is what happens during a 'mukbang' challenge or when your family finally opens the Noche Buena feast. It's not just 'kain' (eat), it's 'kain with a vengeance'. You see a table full of food, and your only mission is to leave no survivors. 'Bangkain mo na 'yang natirang pizza.'
From 'bangkay' (corpse). A morbidly humorous and colloquial term suggesting to 'finish off' the food as if killing it.
Colloquial and highly informal. It carries a humorous, almost gluttonous connotation. The root is 'bangkay', not 'bangkain'.
