Wait, what? "Stuffed to the gunnels" which I've only ever heard, and "Full to the gunwales" which I've only ever read, are the same thing????
I'm not sure what I thought gunnels actually were. I had a vague feeling they might be a something 18th century gentlemen wore when they got stout in middle age, like a male version of stays

Learned how to spell gunwales there cheers. I've always said gunnals and would have spelled it phonetically. I like learning new random shit.
