(Australia, simile, colloquial) Having eaten too much.
Full as a goog means: Having eaten too much.. It is mainly Australian English and may not be understood outside that context. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
full as a goog means: Having eaten too much.. Register: informal, Australian English. Often not understood outside its region; gloss the word on first use when writing for an international audience. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

A vivid Australian slang expression meaning extremely drunk — so loaded that you're as full (of alcohol) as a boot is full of water. The phrase is part of a rich Australian tradition of colourful drunk-comparisons, sitting alongside classics like 'full as a goog' (egg) and 'maggot'. It's used with affectionate exasperation or cheerful self-awareness, perfectly capturing the Australian tendency to describe heavy drinking with humorous everyday imagery.
