\t\t\t\tChances are this Thanksgiving you and loved ones will gather around the table, say what you are thankful for and then delve into the pilgrim tradition of stuffing your tummies with all sorts of delicious fare \u2014 candied yams, green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes …<\/p>\n

crapulent (kr\u0101p’y\u0259-luh<\/em>nt) adjective – sick from gross excess in drinking or eating<\/p>\n
