“Glutton — A person who takes the piece of French pastry you wanted”

A jocular definition of a “glutton” appeared (uncredited) in a 1947 newspaper:
   
“A glutton is a person who takes the piece of layer cake you wanted.”
   
“GLUTTON: Someone who takes the piece of French pastry you wanted” was in Paul H. Gilbert’s “Daffynitions” syndicated newspaper feature in 1949. “A glutton is a person who takes the piece of pastry you wanted” was cited in 1977 newspapers. A 2002 book defined as glutton as “a person who takes the piece of pizza I wanted.”
