- HeyLaughingBoy 9y agoChockablock is a nautical term (see:double blocked) meaning that two blocks (pulley systems used in ship rigging) are fast against each other and can't get closer. Basically it's a synonym for "full" or "can't move." Clearly, the term "block" has nothing to do with the word, "blocked."
