The only sin you can do three times before noon and call it brunch.
means The excessive indulgence in food or drink, eating or consuming far beyond what one needs.
from From Latin 'gluttire,' to gulp down or swallow, which gives us 'gula' (throat, gullet) — the same root behind 'glut' and 'deglutition' (the fancy medical word for swallowing). It traveled through Old French 'glotonie' into English, where it settled firmly among the seven deadly sins, forever picturing the open throat as the gateway to excess.
