full well
With total certainty
Full well is an emphatic form of well meaning thoroughly or completely, used almost exclusively with verbs of knowing or understanding: You know full well what I mean, She was full well aware of the consequences.
The phrase carries an accusatory edge, suggesting the person is feigning ignorance or innocence about something they actually understand perfectly.
