Etymology
The term 'gulper' dates back to the 14th century, derived from the Middle English word 'gulpen', which means to gulp or swallow. Its usage has evolved over time to describe individuals who eat or drink quickly and often in large quantities. The root 'gulf' originally comes from the Old Norse word 'gรบfa', meaning to gulp or swell. As an informal term, 'gulper' is particularly popular in colloquial language, often used to convey a sense of exaggeration regarding someone's eating or drinking habits. The concept of gulping as a noun has made it synonymous with indulgence and excess, making it a relatable term in the context of food and drink consumption.
