How it's used
This expression uses vivid imagery to convey the physical sensation of extreme fullness, suggesting the food has reached the chest area. It is a hyperbolic way to decline more food or explain why one needs to rest after a heavy meal. It is significantly more expressive than simply saying 好飽.
Examples
I am so full that I don't even want to move.
You can still eat? I'm already stuffed to the brim.
