Full
/Sounds like "FOOLL" (as in "food")/
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.
“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")/
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."
“The concert was absolutely packed, there was nowhere to stand.”
“I'm completely swamped with work this week, barely sleeping.”

El malo de la película
The person everyone blames when something goes wrong, the narrative scapegoat of any group conflict. Across Latin America and Spain, ser el malo de la pelicula means being cast as the villain of the story, sometimes just for telling the truth nobody wanted to hear.
