Here I am reading this management book, and all of a sudden I notice that the writer loves using the expression “brimming with”- I mean, he might have used it at least four times in the first episode, which felt a bit of an exaggeration to me.

Nevertheless, this is a nice expression for describing exaggerated settings: for example- if I say that my cup is BRIMMING WITH coffee, I mean that there is so much coffee that I cannot move or touch it without having coffee overflow the cup, overflow the BRIM, the verge, the rim of the cup.
