Another Example of τρωγω being used Metaphorically, not Literally

In Aristophanes, Clouds, 924, we read:

 

γνώμας τρώγων Πανδελετείους.

 

According to the Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek, this example of τρωγω is:

 

fig. com. γνώμας τ. Πανδελετείους to chew on the thoughts of Pandeleteios Aristoph. Nub. 924 (Franco Montanari, The Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek [Leiden: Brill, 2015], S.V. τρωγω)

 

This is another refutation of the naïve claim of many Roman Catholic apologists that τρωγω is never used metaphorically in Greek.
