Nosh
含义: To snack or eat a small amount of food between meals; also the snack itself.
Noshing is casual eating — grabbing a bite, nibbling on appetizers, or having a light snack. 'Want to nosh on something?' means 'want a snack?' A 'nosh' can also refer to the food itself. It's lighter than a meal — you nosh on crackers, not on a steak dinner.
