Sure. A mystery novel often presents an 'anything but plain full story'. The author gives bits and pieces of the plot, but there are always secrets, false leads, and hidden motives that make it far from a plain and complete account until the end.
In the world of politics, many news stories can be like this. For instance, when a politician is involved in a scandal. The initial reports might not give the full picture. There could be behind - the - scenes deals, unreported relationships, or other factors that make the real story 'anything but plain full story'. The media might only report what they can get easily or what serves their own interests, leaving out important details.
Sure. A 'full cover story' could be one about a major political scandal. For instance, if a politician is caught in a corruption case. The cover story would detail how the scandal was uncovered, who was involved, the evidence against the politician, and the potential consequences for the political system.
Let's consider the phrase in the context of a story being full of bravado. An example could be someone saying 'I fought off ten guys all by myself without breaking a sweat'. This kind of story where someone is boasting and perhaps stretching the truth could be what is meant by a 'full of cock story'. But again, this is just one way of looking at this rather unclear phrase.
I'm reluctant to give an example for such a phrase as it might have vulgar connotations. However, if we consider 'dick' as a symbol of arrogance (again, stretching the non - vulgar interpretation), a story could be about a character who is full of himself, constantly showing off and being over - confident. But this is really just a forced interpretation to avoid the vulgar aspect of the phrase.
Sure. Let's say someone claims they ran a marathon in an hour. Given that the world record for a marathon is much longer than that, this is likely a 'full of cock story'. They are probably just trying to show off or get attention by making up such an unbelievable claim.
Sure. In a love story of deception, one partner might deceive the other about their past relationships. They hide the fact that they have a history of being unfaithful. They act as if they are completely innocent and trustworthy. But later, when the truth surfaces, it shatters the trust in the relationship.
Take the case of Erin Brockovich. She was a legal clerk who noticed that a utility company in her town was contaminating the local water supply with a toxic chemical. She started investigating and found evidence of widespread illness in the community due to the contamination. Brockovich then fought hard to expose the company's actions. She worked with lawyers and eventually won a large settlement for the affected residents. Her story shows how a whistleblower can make a big difference in protecting the health and rights of a community.
Another example is the 'Success Kid' meme. A photo of a baby clenching his fist in a determined way was turned into a meme. It was used to represent achieving success in different areas, whether it was getting a promotion at work, acing an exam, or just having a small victory in daily life. The photo's simple yet powerful message made it a very popular meme, and it was shared widely across social media platforms. It also inspired a lot of parodies and remixes.
If it's a baseball - related 'full count story', here's one. In a big playoff game, the star batter has a full count. The pitcher throws a curveball. The batter anticipates it perfectly and hits a home run, winning the game for his team.
It means it is not at all a simple and complete story. There are likely hidden aspects, missing details, or elements that make it complex and not straightforward.
Sure. There's the story of the prodigal son in the Bible. He left his family with his share of the inheritance, squandered it all, and was left in a desperate situation. But then he decided to return home, and his father welcomed him back with open arms. So his journey away from home and then back again is like a full circle, and it's based on a religiously - considered true story.
