As far as the UK is concerned, 'I could not eat another thing, I am plum full."
This is in reference to the concept of "plumb", i.e. absolutely vertical. Any deviation from plumb is not absolutely vertical.
In this respect, if one is "plumb full" it would imply that that the person is "completely full", with no deviation from the absolute term "full". When you consider a container of fixed volume, it is either full or it is not full so by analogy, "plumb full" would imply that the container (generally the stomach) is full, with no room for any more.
Realistically, the term cannot be completely true since the stomach is somewhat elastic so saying you (or something) is "plumb full" is really just a way to emphasize the fullness.

What does plumbed mean?
In a vertical or perpendicular line. e.g. "The wall is plumb."This is the most common meaning and alludes to the method of establishing vertical by using a plumb bob - a weight suspended from a long line which hangs straight down - with the resulting line between the top of the line and the plumb bob being a reference for the edge of something that is supposed to be perfectly vertical. If it is further away from the line at the top or bottom of the line than it is at the other end, it is not quite "plumb".There are, of course, several more informal uses for the term:(Informal definition) Directly; squarely: e.g. "It fell plumb in the middle."(sometimes also spelled as "plum" with the informal definition...) Utterly; completely: e.g "I'm plumb worn out."informal chiefly US (intensifier): e.g. "That's just plumb stupid."
