pingler

1. (rare) One who plays with his food, but does not eat.Examples: "It hath large and wide cheeks, which they always fill, both carrying in, and carrying out, they eat with both, whereupon a devouring fellow,such a one as Stafimus a servant to Plautus was, is called Cricetus, a Hamster, because he filleth his mouth well, and is no pingler at his meat."; "For the Drunkennesse lives of many are so monstrous, that Heliogabalus was but a pingler to them."; "...if I cannot drink it down to my foot, ere I leave, and then set the tap in the midst of the house, and then turn a good turn on the toe on it, let me be counted nobody, a pingler, — nay, let me be bound to drink nothing but small-beer seven years after — and I had as lief be hanged."rare
