Noun.

Someone who eats quickly or defensively in public.

Northern Irish slang. It was used frequently in 1980/90s schoolyards to meme pretty much anybody eating without offering around. It called up the context that the individual must get starved at home.

It could be used as an equally metered chant to playfully shame someone eating during an inappropriate gathering, or someone whose stomach grumbled loudly during a silence.
"I bought you a whole bag of crisps last week and you won't even spare me a single jelly baby? You're such a starvo, mate."

"Your gut sounds like a dying porpoise, starvo!"

Touch Starved 

When one has the strong desire to be touched (not usually in a sexual way). Examples of touch are hugs, kisses, or just something simple as holding hands. Humans feel this desire due to the fact the body releases the hormone oxytocin during skin-on-skin contact. Without it, adults are more susceptible to depression and infants can have developmental problems or even die. This craving can be satisfied through a friend (if you're comfortable with affection, some platonic relationships are more hands off) or a partner.
Alex: Since I broke up with Taylor I've been so touch starved...
Andy: Wanna hug?

Alex: Yeah :)

*insert a cute hug here*

Starlog Quote Humper

Any person or group of people that only accepts or uses the George Lucas quote from Starlog Magazine issue #337 from 2005 as the only definitive, end-all-be all, piece of evidence in an argument when debating whether or not the Star Wars Expanded Universe/Legends was canon to any degree prior to 2014. Due to their cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias, Starlog Quote Humpers do not accept any quote or piece of evidence that is not the Starlog Magazine quote, even if it is a statement from George Lucas that contradicts or goes back on his statements in the Starlog Quote, of which there are plenty that do. In addition, Starlog Quote Humpers often dismiss or reject any of Lucasfilm's or Lucasfilm employee's statements regarding canon policy used as evidence that favor the viewpoint of the EU being canon before 2014 as being "lesser secondhand sources of information."
While browsing online forums I came across many Starlog Quote Humpers posting that one George Lucas quote from Starlog Magazine.
The best ship in existence, theorized to be created by our god pickle rick himself.
Guy 1:Hey, did you see the season 2 finale?

Guy 2: no

Guy 1: me neither but Starco is the best ship ever.
