(fully) loaded


Explanation:
als iets van binnen van alle gemakken voorzien is, zeggen we in het Engels dat het "loaded" of "fully loaded" is. Je hebt al de "perks" zeg maar. Dit geldt voor je auto, een schip, je fiets, je hotel kamer, alles.

Oooh.... I see everyone else responded in English. But anywayz, I was just saying that the expression means that it\'s equipped with everything to make you totally comfortable and that you have all the perks & \"amenities\" as Ellemiek said. We say \"loaded\" or \"fully loaded\" to indicate this and it applies to anything from your car, to a ship, to your bike, hotel room... everything.

agree  eldira: fully loaded for something we purchase; 'amenities' for something we rent or make use of.

neutral  Chris Hopley: This is slang. I don't ever remember reading a hotel brochure that described the hotel as "fully loaded". A custom car magazine (with high testosterone count), however, might describe one of its featured vehicles as "fully loaded"....

  -> Umm.. this is not slang. It'used quite often. And they wouldn't be describing the hotel as fully loaded, they'd be describing the hotel ROOM as being fully loaded.
