6 hrs confidence:
mobbed Explanation: Don't know if it's particularly US, but "it's mobbed here today" would mean there's a lot of people around. Alternatively: it's like sardines in here today. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2013-03-01 08:22:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another idea: it's standing room only in here today. Or if a car image would work, "it's bumper to bumper in here today" - or would that have to be fender to fender in the US? ;-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2013-03-01 08:35:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Once you go down this road, there are all sorts of expressions available: chock-a-block, or just chocka, jam-packed, heaving (same idea as mobbed), they're wall to wall in here today, it's bursting at the seams - i.e. with potential customers. Again, don't know how US those expressions are, but they might trigger something. |
