gorged
Filled past comfort
Gorged means having eaten to excess, stuffed with food: We lay around gorged after Thanksgiving dinner.
The word comes from throat, suggesting fullness up to the gullet.
Beyond eating, gorged describes anything filled to capacity: rivers gorged with snowmelt, a gorged schedule.
In heraldry, gorged means wearing a collar around the neck.
