kaput
Beyond all repair
Kaput means broken, ruined, or no longer functioning.
From German, it entered English as informal slang for something that has failed completely or ceased to work: The engine is kaput, My phone went kaput.
It can also describe plans or relationships that have fallen apart: After that argument, their friendship was kaput.
