For example, "She took her baby for a walk in the pram," or "The pram was equipped with a comfortable seat and a protective canopy." -OBVIOUSLY (FILLER WORD): similar to saying "it's clear" or "you see" to show something is easy to understand.

For example, "The party was full on, with loud music and dancing all night," or "He experienced a full-on adrenaline rush while participating in the extreme sports event."
