How it's used
This term is almost exclusively used to describe intense, abstract emotions like passion, resentment, or indignation. It carries a literary or dramatic weight, so it sounds quite formal or intense in everyday speech. It is rarely used for physical objects or literal fullness.
Examples
He is full of enthusiasm to help others.
Why are you so full of rage?

Common mistake
Learners often try to use this to mean 'full' in a physical sense, such as a full stomach or a full room, but it is strictly reserved for internal emotional states.
