Stonkered

Stonkered is a colloquial term, primarily used in British and Australian English, to describe a state of being utterly exhausted, defeated, or in a difficult and hopeless situation. It can refer to physical exhaustion, emotional distress, or a predicament from which there seems to be no easy escape. The word implies a sense of being worn down, beaten, or out of luck. It suggests a significant degree of trouble, often beyond simple annoyance or inconvenience. It may also express the outcome of a game, a situation, or a competition. Often, the term suggests a sense of resignation to an unavoidable negative result or outcome.
