buggered
Beyond all repair
Buggered is versatile British slang.
It can mean broken or ruined: The engine's buggered.
It can mean exhausted: I'm completely buggered after that hike.
It can mean in serious trouble: If they find out, we're buggered.
In phrases like I'm buggered if I know, it expresses emphatic ignorance.
Well, I'll be buggered expresses surprise.
The literal meaning—subjected to anal sex—is rarely intended in casual use.
