very full from eating · had too much to eat
This is the perfect phrase to use after a delicious, but very generous meal! 🍔🍟🍕 When you've eaten so much that you feel like you can't possibly eat another bite, 'I'm stuffed!' is your go-to. It's a casual and common way to express your extreme fullness.
💡 **Pro-tip!** This expression is usually used in informal settings with friends or family. While it's perfectly polite among peers, avoid it in very formal dining situations (like a fancy business dinner) where a simple 'I'm full, thank you' might be more appropriate. You can also add 'to the gills' for extra emphasis, like 'I'm stuffed to the gills!' if you *really* overdid it! 🤣
When would you most likely say 'I'm stuffed!'? A. When you've just woken up and are hungry for breakfast. B. After finishing a large Thanksgiving dinner and feeling completely full. C. When you are studying for an exam and need more coffee.
