How it's used
Beyond the literal sense of being uncomfortably full, this phrase is frequently used to express strong annoyance or disgust toward someone's behavior or words. It functions similarly to saying something is nauseating or insufferable. When used in this figurative sense, it often implies that the speaker has had more than enough of the other person's attitude.
Examples
I ate so much, I'm literally stuffed to death.
The nonsense you're spouting is honestly sickening.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply being full, which is just 飽. Using 飽死 in a formal setting to describe your appetite can sound overly dramatic or aggressive.
