/Sounds like "hah" (as in "hard") + "MAHR" (as in "mark")/

Meaning

To eat in a casual, no-fuss way. Used in Spain. Jamar is the everyday informal verb you reach for when hunger is real and there is nothing fancy about the situation. It is not about dining or savoring a meal; it is just about feeding yourself when the time has come and you have been running on empty for too long.

Examples

Want to go grab something to eat? I have not eaten in hours.

I am dying to eat something, I am absolutely starving right now.
