Chockablock full?
Can I use the term 'chockablock full' in an academic essay?
I love this term and use it alot but not sure if it's ok for an essay. My course is kind of a joke anyways Germanic Studies 487 - A Cultural History of Vampires in Literature and Film i am writing a 3 page paper on Bram Stoker's Dracula and I want to say "Right from the beginning, the movie is chockablock full of the colour red." i think i'm gonna do it regardless, just wondering what others think. as for the term, if it's not in your vocab it should be. ie. bob: how was the bar last night? frank: awesome, it was chockablock full of hotties http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=chockablock |

No way, unless you want a big "WTF???" in red ink on the essay when you get it back.

I don't see a problem with it. Just don't forget to add that Vlad the Impaler was All-County in 1395.

An islander from the Pacific Island. Generally twice the weight and size of a normal human being, but at the same age.
Look at that chockablock, isn't he/she huge? If that is your use, it should be allowed in a paper. The other use is lame. Damn you're young. |

I used to teach Film Theory at Cal-Northridge. While I always appreciated non-standard English in an essay - if done sparingly and with a purpose - I would not like to see your example. I would probably red-circle it and grade you accordingly.
