    I prefer 'eating on the go'.

    This is such a common expression that I have seen it used as the name of a supermarket attached to a petrol station. (Maybe it's a chain of such stores...?)

    Maybe that's why a 'hoofer' is a dancer rather than a walker (note for word-watchers - not ballet; a 'hoofer' has to have substantial [not huge, but solid] shoes. 'Hoofer' can be used in a self-deprecatory way - 'I'm just an old hoofer, not a real dancer', a bit like a writer saying ''I'm just an old hack, not a real writer' '[hack' - derived from 'hackney cab', which wasn't smart or sleek but did a job for anyone who paid).
