A fresser is a big eater in Yiddish. Like someone who can eat a plate of cholent and kugel at shul kiddush, and then go home and eat a seuda there. One thing I’ve been trying hard in the new year to do is reduce nivul peh; I’ve been told that some things I say, particularly words beginning with c or t, are the epitome of classlessness. Lips are a very powerful thing for Jews, and speech must reflect what we want to truly reside within the heart and neshama.
