Not surprisingly, there are at least five words for foolish, meddling gossips ( quidnunc, numquid, polypragmon, yenta, from Yiddish, and badaud, from French ) and no fewer than 10 words for what the politically correct might call " the calorically challenged " : tenterbelly, gorbelly, gundygut, greedygut, gormandizer, swillbelly, bellygod, pangut ( s ), porknell, and, my personal favorite, fustilugs.
