Meaning
'I accidentally ate the whole thing' — cheerful overeating
The story
Georgian has a preverb, shemo-, that folds 'unintentionally' into a verb, so a full confession fits in one word: I ate the whole thing, and I never meant to. It gets said at the supra, the feast where a third helping is hard to dodge. In English it flattens to overeating.
