gannet
Noun
pl: gannets
The primary meaning refers to the seabird, characterized by its dramatic plunge-diving behavior. In this biological context, the word is neutral and descriptive.
When applied to humans, the term becomes a pejorative metaphor for gluttony. This usage is more common in British English and carries a mocking or critical tone, comparing a person's eating habits to the perceived greed of a bird.
