What does the Yiddish word flayshick mean?

The Yiddish word "flayshick" (pronounced "flay-shik") literally translates to "meat".

However, it's often used in a more figurative sense, meaning:

* Someone who is obsessed with food, particularly meat.

* A gluttonous person.

* A person who is overly focused on material things.

So, if someone is called a "flayshick," it's not necessarily a compliment!
