Noralia, how do you say it? (I suppose that "full" is borrowed from English, because there aren't any other Spanish words that come to mind that end in ull.)

"Full" is not Spanish! It's borrowed from English and you pronounce it with a Spanish /u/ sound, but it's the English word. These days it`s used a lot in Argentina in different contexts with different meanings. One is combined with the verbs "estar" o "andar" as in the example.

You can also find it in a dialogue like this:

Are you going to the concert tonight? ¿Vas a ir al recital hoy?
Of course! Obviously! No doubt! A full!
