Eating twice, chewing once, dignity zero times.
means The act of bringing swallowed food back up into the mouth (or spewing out anything half-digested, including other people's ideas you didn't bother to chew on yourself).
from Built from Latin re- ('again') plus the medieval Latin gurgitare ('to flood or engulf'), itself from gurges ('whirlpool, abyss'). So underneath the clinical veneer is a tiny violent image: your throat as a whirlpool, running its current backward.
