/Sounds like "FOOLL" (as in "food")/

Meaning

Very, super, completely, maxed out, the English loanword that Latin America adopted as the ultimate intensifier. Full busy, full tired, full everything, it means you're at capacity and can't take any more.

Examples

I'm full of work, can't go out today.

The restaurant was full, we couldn't find a table.

I ate lunch full fast.

/Sounds like "FOOLL" (as in "food")/

Meaning

An anglicism used as an intensifier in Ecuador, Mexico, and Colombia meaning "very," "a lot," or "packed with." "Full gente" means tons of people, "full estresado" means super stressed. More versatile than the English "full," it works anywhere you'd say "super" or "totally."

Examples

The concert was absolutely packed, there was nowhere to stand.

I'm completely swamped with work this week, barely sleeping.

A mischievous, hyperactive kid in Mexico and Central America, the type who climbs everything, breaks stuff by accident, and never sits still for two seconds. The comparison is direct: mico means small monkey, and the tone is always playful or affectionate, never mean.
