Chomped bit refers to a quick and firm bite that is usually associated with a tough or resistant substance such as meat, candy, or hard vegetables. The antonyms for this phrase include words such as sip, nibble, munch, and chew delicately, which denote a slower and more careful process of eating or drinking. Sipping is the act of taking small sips, usually associated with drinking hot tea or coffee. Nibbling and munching indicate a smaller bite, taken in small increments, usually associated with small snacks. Chewing delicately, on the other hand, implies taking one's time to thoroughly masticate the food before swallowing.
