    "to squander;" and hence one who is prodigal, who wastes his
    means by indulgence. In Prov. 23:21, the word means debauchees
    or wasters of their own body. In Prov. 28:7, the word (pl.) is
    rendered Authorized Version "riotous men;" Revised Version,
    "gluttonous." Matt. 11:19, Luke 7:34, Greek phagos, given to
    eating, gluttonous.
