scarfing
Wolfing food down
Scarfing is eating quickly and greedily, often in large quantities: He was scarfing down pizza like he hadn't eaten in days.
The word suggests enthusiastic, undignified consumption—less dainty than nibbling, more voracious than snacking.
Separately, scarfing refers to joining two pieces of wood or metal by cutting notched ends that overlap and fasten together.
