An expression required for a situation

You could make a reference to 'sounding like a pig'.

Thanks, Philip. So, do you think that parents may say something like this to their children.

(at the dining table)

Don't sound like a pig.

Don't slurp (your drink).

Don't guzzle (your food).

Or maybe a more positive one:

Eat properly?

Thanks,

Tom

Here are some things parents might say to their children at the table:

Don't slurp your drink.

Don't eat so fast!

Don't talk with your mouth full.

Elbows off the table!

and, the one that includes all the others:

Remember your table manners!

Mr. TomDon't sound like a pig.

Don't slurp (your drink).

Don't guzzle (your food).

Hi Tom

I don't associate the word "guzzle" with sound at all. I associate it with extremely quick, greedy or excessive consumption -- normally the consumption of some sort of liquid.

Thanks, Amy.

So, if a child eats his apple NOISILY, how should a parent advise him?

Don't sound like a pig.

This sentence doesn't sound like educated speech. Or just.

Don't make sounds while eating...

Is the underlined sentence OK?

Tom

How about, "Try to eat more quietly, dear."

It wouldn't be natural to say "Don't sound like a pig."

Goodness, George! Try to eat a bit more quietly! You sound like a pig! -- That's possible. Not very nice, but possible.

Sorry, I had forgotten about this thread. AND MY APOLOGIES if I am repeating the same thing.

So, are there any words which mean:

eat noisely

drink noisely

(Teacher to student)

Don't _______________(your burger).

Don't _______________ (your tea).

Thanks,

Tom

PS: Khoff, I was just thinking th

Thanks, Clive!

Can I use these words without the object?

Don't chomp please.

Don't slurp please.
