"Full of beans" also means "incorrect" or "mistaken" in some contexts. It actually is a variation of "full of s h i t" or "full of c r a p," which could not be said in polite company. You can say "full of beans" anywhere, though.
Mr. A: "Harry thinks the Yankees are the best team this year."
Mr. B: "Harry's full of beans. The Red Sox are the team to watch."
