Comments
(ambitransitive) To consume completely.
Eat up means: To consume completely.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
eat up means: To consume completely.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.

“Us: (remembers how Ark: Survival Evolved is trying to eat up 270GB on our hard drive with all expansions but without the custom maps because the custom maps would easily triple the total size, but because we enabled file compression, it's "only" using 2/3 of that of actual space)”
