Someone wrote that her car was "chalk full of clothes." Above is a picture of chalk, something that children use to mark on their driveways or a teacher uses to write on a chalkboard. (We called them "blackboards" when I was in school, back in the dark ages of the 1940s.) What that someone meant was that her car was CHOCK full of clothes. That means it was "full to overflowing." The words are homophones . . . or very close.
