EN: gluttony; voracity
That state you enter during a 'kain-all-you-can' buffet. It's eating like you've been personally wronged by the concept of hunger. It’s not just being 'gutom' (hungry); it’s being 'patay-gutom' (starving) on a spiritual level. Think of a buwaya (crocodile) at a feeding frenzy. That's siba.
