To force-feed someone is to make them eat by putting food into their mouth or down their throat when they cannot eat, or do not want to. Doctors may do this if a person is too ill to swallow. It is also done to some farm animals, and people argue about whether that is cruel. The word is strong and a little clinical. Though actually, speakers also stretch it: a teacher who “force-feeds” facts is giving too much, too fast — no food is going into a mouth. The first, physical meaning is the one this entry is about.
