WHAT HYPHEN??? its chock full you goof

[-] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

chalk-full: Confuses chock-full with chalk it up to. Chock-full is an old phrase, perhaps coming from choke-full or full to choking. Chalk it up to comes from chalk tally marks on a slate. Chock marks indicate where to put wooden chocks (or wedges) and may be confused with chalk marks.

you just replied with something describing that you used a incorrect phrasing, it's chock full, not chalk full. Kinda like how it's taken for granted and not taken for granite
