hungries
Appetite making noise
The hungries is a casual, playful term for the state of being hungry, often describing a sudden or persistent craving for food: I've got the hungries.
The word treats hunger as a distinct condition that descends upon you, similar to how one might "have the blues" or "have the jitters."
