adj

  1. (not-comparable)excessively filled; full to overflowing

noun

  1. A full house that beats someone else's full house.
    “[…] let's say the flop comes 9-9-8, with the open pair on top. One player has J-T-9-8 for the overfull—9s full of 8s for the nut full house—while another player has 8-8-7-6 for 8s full of 9s and the "underfull". The player with the underfull is both getting smashed and drawing dead.”
