browned-off

Irritated and weary

Browned-off means annoyed, fed up, or disgruntled.

The term is chiefly British and somewhat old-fashioned, originating as military slang: The troops were browned-off after weeks of waiting.

It suggests weary irritation rather than intense anger—being thoroughly tired of a situation or person.
