멐방 or mukbang, is the definition of the sin of gluttony. People get money for binge eating to buy even more food as to get even more views. Mukbangers are known to eat large quanitites of food that literally are equivalent to a full community meal that could be donated to starving Somalian children.

"Mukbang" is an internet fad that finds viewers watching mukbangers binge eating copious amounts of food. This strange trend began in Korea in 2011. The term "mukbang" comes from a mix of two Korean words, "muk-ja" (eating) and "bang-song" (broadcasting). The most popular mukbang stars (also called 'BJs' for broadcast Jockeys) eatmessy foods as they loudly slurp, chomp and display bad table manners.
I told my YouTube subscribers I would make thirty mukbang videos in thirty days, but I think that may be too many, so I will only do a mukbang every other day.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
