"Buggered” (British slang)"
Definition
Buggered is informal British slang for being in a really bad, hopeless, or exhausted situation.
How to use it
Strongly informal — do not use this in professional or formal settings. But it is very common in casual British conversation. If something is buggered, it is broken, ruined, or finished. If you are buggered, you are either completely worn out or in serious trouble.
