to eat so much you're uncomfortably stuffed
No almoço de domingo da vó, comi que fiquei triste.
At Grandma's Sunday lunch, I ate so much I could barely move.
A jokey regionalism from Ceará (Northeast Brazil), recorded in local dialect glossaries: the humour turns on the literal "fiquei triste" ("I got sad") standing in for the heavy, sluggish discomfort after overeating.
