From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:
Chomp \Chomp\, v. i.
To chew loudly and greedily; to champ. [Prov. Eng. & Colloq.
U. S.] --Halliwell.
[1913 Webster]
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
chomp
n 1: the act of gripping or chewing off with the teeth and jaws
[syn: {bite}, {chomp}]
v 1: chew noisily; "The boy chomped his sandwich" [syn: {chomp},
{champ}]
From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
chomp
vi.
1. To {lose}; specifically, to chew on something of which more was bitten
off than one can. Probably related to gnashing of teeth.
2. To bite the bag; See {bagbiter}.
A hand gesture commonly accompanies this. To perform it, hold the four
fingers together and place the thumb against their tips. Now open and close
your hand rapidly to suggest a biting action (much like what Pac-Man does
in the classic video game, though this pantomime seems to predate that).
The gesture alone means ?chomp chomp? (see Verb Doubling in the Jargon
Construction section of the Prependices). The hand may be pointed at the
object of complaint, and for real emphasis you can use both hands at once.
Doing this to a person is equivalent to saying ?You chomper!? If you point
the gesture at yourself, it is a humble but humorous admission of some
failure. You might do this if someone told you that a program you had
written had failed in some surprising way and you felt dumb for not having
anticipated it.
