Glutton

The first thing we are going to do to know the meaning of the term glutton is to discover its etymological origin. In this case, we can emphasize that it is a word that derives from Latin, specifically it emanates from the popular Latin word "glutto, gluttonis", which can be translated as " voracious " or "glutton".

The term is used to describe someone who eats food greedily and in excessive quantities .

GluttonFor example: "Don't be gluttonous, let others eat too!" , "I had dinner like a glutton and now my belly hurts" , "Mariano's glutton ate four hamburgers" .

Glutton, gobbler, gobbler, insatiable or hungry are some of the words that can be used synonymously with the term at hand. On the contrary, among its antonyms we find others such as listless or unappetizing, for example.

The behavior or attitude of the glutton is called gluttony . Gluttony is often associated with gluttony : eating and drinking excessively with a disordered appetite. The glutton, therefore, does not have a healthy eating habit.

Suppose a man , upon entering a birthday party, pounces on a table and eats ten sandwiches in a few minutes, emptying the tray. It can be said that this guy was gluttonous and, furthermore, rude or selfish, since he did not think that other people might also want to try the sandwiches in question.

Homer (Homer) Simpson is a character that represents the archetype of a glutton. He is always thinking about food and cannot satisfy his appetite in any way.

The wolverine, on the other hand, is an animal whose scientific name is Gulo gulo . It is a mammal that is part of the mustelid family group, which includes otters , weasels, minks and ferrets, among others.

Wolverines are carnivores similar in appearance to bears, with a robust, muscular body and long hair. They feed on sick animals and carrion, although they also take advantage of prey captured by hunting species. Rodents , birds and insects are part of their diet , which also includes grains and berries.

Other characteristics worth highlighting about this animal are that it has enormous strength, as it is capable of hunting animals larger than it, and that it has especially sharp claws and jaws of great consistency.

Likewise, it is highlighted that it is not an animal that lives in groups, that it has a lifespan that can range between 8 and 17 years and that, fundamentally, it prefers habitats where the climate is very cold. Hence, due to this last characteristic, it is common to find it in arctic areas of the planet such as Russia, Canada, Siberia or even Alaska.

It is curious to know that the famous comic character called Wolverine or Wolverine is inspired precisely by the figure of that animal called glutton. Specifically, that figure from the Marvel factory takes from this animal not only its powerful strength but also its very sharp claws and the fact that it identifies as a solitary being.
