People should know that:
- /u/givessomefucks is a persistent liar who rarely knows what they're talking about. They persistently grossly misinterpret excerpts from Wikipedia either because they don't care or because they literally can't read.
- They're deliberately taking the Wikipedia article out of context hoping people won't read it if they say it authoritatively enough:
- [edit: 'zll' since the original Hebrew is turbofucking the formatting on desktop] literally translates to excessive eating.
- The sentence after states: "In Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:34, it is φαγος (phagos)." (anyone who knows their roots knows what this one means)
- The citation on that sentence is completely broken, meaning there's no chance they actually checked it.
- There's zero chance they understand what Gesenius' work is; it does not at all indicate "it was wrongly translated as a cover-up but also somehow 19th-century theologian Gesenius was the only one to allegedly discover this even though it's also essentially gluttony in Greek and Hebrew."
Edit: Here's what Brown–Driver–Briggs (based partly on Gesenius) says:
transitive make light of = be lavish with, squander (compare II. zol), especially of gluttony [bş̂r′z] Proverbs 23:20 ([soovai yain]), absolute Proverbs 23:21; Deuteronomy 21:20 (both [soove]), Proverbs 28:7.
to be mean, be vile, to be a glutton
Deuteronomy 21:20 and Proverbs 23:21
And wow, what a weird coincidence that Deuteronomy 21:20 and Proverbs 23:21 both have it used in conjunction with the word "drunkard", an obvious companion to eating too much.
