Where this word comes from

From comer (“to eat”) + gamba (“prawn”), literally, “prawn eater”. Originally used to describe union leaders partaking in lavish seafood meals. The term evolved into a synecdochical reference to high-ranking union officials perceived as disconnected from the working class. It gained prominence in Andalusia after the circulation of a photograph depicting union leaders with trays of seafood.
