In literature, the word cram is employed with a range of meanings, from the literal act of stuffing objects into confined spaces to the metaphorical intensification of ideas or information. Writers use it to depict the physical act of forcefully filling a pocket or other space—as when Hansel bends down to cram as many items as possible into his pocket [1]—while it also captures efforts to force information into one’s mind under pressure, as in preparing for an exam [2, 3]. Additionally, cram conveys the sense of overwhelming or imposing something on another, such as when food is pushed down a throat or ideas are shoved into one’s consciousness [4, 5]. Moreover, the term appears as a proper name in various works, adding another layer to its diverse literary function [6, 7, 8].
