充
Mnemonic
You fill a waste bag until it's so overstuffed it sprouts legs and waddles off on its own. The more you fill it, the thicker those legs grow, stomping away with a satisfied strut, absolutely brimming to capacity.
Additional thoughts
Picture an impossibly full trash bag that has grown cartoon legs beneath it, waddling away because it can't hold any more. The fullness literally brings it to life.Quick recall
