vollstopfen

The German word "vollstopfen" is a verb that means "to stuff full" or "to cram".

• Made of:
  • voll = "full"
  • stopfen = "to plug" or "to stuff"

It is often used to describe filling something completely, often excessively or tightly, e.g., stuffing a suitcase or food into the mouth.

Similar words:

• zusstopfen (to stuff tightly)
• überfüllen (to overfill)

• stopfen is more generally about plugging or stuffing, without necessarily implying fullness.
• überfüllen focuses on overfilling beyond capacity, while vollstopfen may just mean filling to capacity.
