I chose the wrong word and probably it caused the misunderstanding. I shouldn't have picked the word 'binge'. I needed a word to describe "eat as much as you like/can until you can't take no more." and I thought binge was the right choice. Delmobile, correct me if I'm wrong. You may have heard of "eat your heart out' but the meaning is not "binge", am I right? If so, how would you interpret it?http://www.englishforums.com/English/EatYourHeartOut/gvcrh/post.htm#521446Fri, 08 May 2009 10:19:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:521446MrPedantic2http://www.englishforums.com/English/EatYourHeartOut/gvcrh/post.htm#521446http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-521446.xmlNot that I know of.

Is it possible to use "heart out" informally to mean "a lot/aggresively". Oh no. I just looked up the expression "eat yor heart out" and it means something that you say which means that you or someone you know can do something better than a person who is famous for doing that thing. I'm taking singing lessons. Celine Dion, eat your heart out! I thought it meant eat as much as you like/can until you can't take no more. :) Help! Thanks in advance!
