"過度飲食者",這個詞源自13世紀初的 Old French gloton "暴食者"; 也被用作"惡棍",是一種普遍的侮辱性詞語(現代法語中的 glouton),源自拉丁語 gluttonem(主格 glutto)"暴食者",這個詞與 gluttire "吞嚥", gula "喉嚨"(參見 gullet)有關。1704年開始,這個詞在描述任何過度沉迷於某事的人時都有普遍的意義。Glutton for punishment 源自拳擊術; 這個短語出現在1854年,但這個想法更早:

Thus, Theocritus, in his Milling-match, calls Amycus "a glutton," which is well known to be the classical phrase at Moulsey-Hurst, for one who, like Amycus, takes a deal of punishment before he is satisfied. [Tom Moore, "Tom Crib's Memorial to Congress," 1819]
因此,Theocritus 在他的《磨坊比賽》中,稱 Amycus 爲"暴食者",這在 Moulsey-Hurst 是衆所周知的古典短語,用來形容像 Amycus 那樣,在 satisfied 之前需要大量的 punishment 的人。[Tom Moore, "Tom Crib's Memorial to Congress," 1819]
