goner
Beyond all hope
A goner is someone or something doomed or beyond saving.
The word implies that death, failure, or destruction is inevitable: When the engine caught fire, I knew the plane was a goner.
It often appears in first-person declarations of imminent doom: If my wife finds out, I'm a goner.
