gorgers
Those who overeat
Gorgers is a Romani term for non-Romani people—outsiders to the Traveller community.
The word carries a slight edge, distinguishing those within the culture from those outside it: The gorgers don't understand our ways.
In broader slang, gorgers can simply mean people who gorge—those who eat greedily or excessively.
