full hand
All fingers occupied
A full hand is a hand already holding something, making it unavailable for other tasks: I couldn't wave—I had a full hand of groceries.
The phrase often appears in the plural: My hands are full means I'm busy or occupied.
In card games, particularly poker, a full hand (or full house) is three of a kind plus a pair.
