Etymology

From table + -ful.

Noun

tableful (plural tablefuls or tablesful)

  1. As much as fills a table.
    • 2007 March 7, Peter Meehan, “The Big Apple May Never Be Known as the Big Sparerib, but It’s Smokin’”, in New York Times:
      It was a perverse amount of meat — enough to slay a tableful of hungry eaters and send everyone home with a to-go pack of smoky ’cue — and even with gas money figured in it was wildly cheaper than anything in the city.
