Famished, Starving, Parched...

Hey guys, I have eaten breakfast yet so I am famished. Do you know what that means? It means I am really hungry. It is a pretty high level word. A more common expression is I'm starving. This actually means that you are dying from a lack of food but is often used to mean you're really hungry.

If you're really thirsty you can say I'm parched. Or maybe "My throat's dry as a bone".

Another common expression where people exaggerate is:

I'm dying of NOUN...

I'm dying of thirst.

I'm really really thirsty.

I'm dying of hunger.

I'm really really hungry.

I'm dying of boredom.

I'm really really bored.

I'm dying of cold.
I'm really really cold.

It Japanese you would say 死ぬほど寒い

OK it's time to eat, I'm hungry~!
