EN: Glutton; famished person (derogatory)
Literally 'dead from hunger.' It's what you call your friend who eats their own food in 2 minutes and then stares at yours with pleading eyes. 'Para kang patay-gutom!' Can be an insult meaning poor and destitute, or just a friendly jab at someone who's a bottomless pit at an 'unli-rice' restaurant.
Compound of 'patay' (dead) + 'gutom' (hunger).
Can be derogatory, implying someone is so poor they are starving. In casual contexts among friends, it's often used hyperbolically to mean 'gluttonous' or 'famished.'
