gut bomb

Deep-fried regret

A gut bomb is heavy, greasy, or otherwise unhealthy food that sits uneasily in the stomach—the kind of meal you feel for hours afterward.

The term is affectionately derogatory, often applied to fast food, fried fare, or late-night eating: We hit the taco stand for gut bombs at 2 a.m.

That bacon cheeseburger was a total gut bomb.
