as in "my testicles were fuller last night than were this morning."      You see, if your hard drive was as full as mine, you'd know that.

That's a user-submitted definition that doesn't actually exist, sorry to burst your bubble

Well, i was never that good at the grammatical side of English but, i'm fairly certain that to describe something being more full, the correct word is fuller.

I am afraid that 'fuller' as an adjective of comparison is not grammatically correct. It is used idiomatically in speech and does find its way into some writing but it really should be 'more full'. It is one of those things that you see and hear all the time and is generally accepted but the real test is whether it finds its way into the OED, which it is never likely to do. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you are writing for the Guardian or marking coursework for students of English Language. This is a forum.

I wasn't worried, i was sticking up for older people, until the grammar police decided to turn up.

Genuinely made me

 

In any case, surely full is an absolute; either one is full or one is not. So you could be closer to being full, but not more full.

 

Then again, if we describe empty as being a total lack of substance, then, other than a vacuum, indeed, a vacuous space, then very few things in life are truly empty. They are merely closer to being empty.

I wouldn't say that, some of the promises from the birds I used to try and chat up were pretty empty.
