Neelääjä

Neelääjä is a Finnish term that translates to "swallower" or "gulper." It is primarily used in a colloquial context to describe someone who consumes food or drink very quickly, often without much chewing. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who readily accepts or takes in information, ideas, or even deception without much critical examination.

In its most literal sense, neelääjä refers to a person's habit of eating or drinking. It's not a formal term in gastronomy or nutrition but rather a descriptive adjective for a particular eating style. Someone described as a neelääjä might be seen as lacking patience or being excessively eager to finish their meal or beverage.

Figuratively, the term can carry a slightly negative connotation, implying a lack of discernment or a tendency to be easily influenced. For instance, a person who believes everything they read or hear without questioning could be called a neelääjä of information. Similarly, if someone is easily fooled or accepts a bad deal without protest, they might be labeled as a neelääjä of the situation. The specific nuance depends heavily on the context in which the word is used.
