jiggered

Worn out entirely

Jiggered is a mild British and Irish exclamation of surprise, often in phrases like Well, I'll be jiggered!

It functions as a euphemism for damned: I'm jiggered if I know.

The word also means exhausted or broken: The engine's completely jiggered.

All uses are somewhat old-fashioned and informal.
