Mangione is a playful Italian word that means “big eater” or “glutton“. It is the combination of the verb mangiare (to eat) and the suffix -one which is used to describe things that are big.

He lived up to his name and ate the rich.

      I knew I couldn’t have been the only one.

      I speak a little french and it has the same root in manger (to eat) or the thing that Jesus dude was placedin - a manger (a feeding trough) and for whatever reason at that moment words worded.
