EN: devouring; gobbling
The 'beast mode' of eating. This is what you do at a buffet, a fiesta, or when you get your 13th-month pay and treat yourself to Samgyupsal. Hindi na ito 'kain', ito ay lamon. No talking, just eating.
Often used with an intense or negative connotation, implying gluttony or very rough eating. The root word 'lamon' can function as a noun (act of devouring) or be affixed to create verbs like 'lumamon' (to devour).
