I am replete, Check this sentence #2 (permalink) Sun Aug 16, 2009 20:19 pm   I am replete, Check this sentence
 

You are correct in your understanding. Replete meaning to be full.

It can also apply to other things, like a car, which is replete of every conceivable extra.

Hello guys,

I just say "I'm full".

Is it a polite way?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rosario,

'Replete' is the posh word - 'full' is basic,
