Where does the phrase "starvin' like Marvin" come from?
Can you tell me where the phrase "starvin' like Marvin" comes from?
The phrase "starvin' like Marvin" is slang and it means someone is extremely hungry. I think it derived from Marvin Gaye's hit song "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" where he sings "I'm just about to lose my mind, honey, honey, well I'm HUNGRY all the time". Because Marvin Gaye was very popular at the time and his lyrics were relatable, people started using it to describe situations when they were extremely hungry.
