/ɡloˈton/

While the English slang 'big back' focuses on a person's physical build, the Spanish equivalent glotón focuses exclusively on the person's eating habits and behavior.
In many Spanish-speaking cultures, calling someone a glotón can sometimes be used as a term of playful endearment between close friends or family, rather than a harsh insult.
While 'big back' in English is a recent TikTok-driven slang term, glotón is a classical, established adjective that has been part of the Spanish language for centuries.
