pegged out

Met one's end

Pegged out means dead or exhausted, from the image of tent pegs pulled up when breaking camp—finished, done.

In British English especially: I was completely pegged out after the hike.

In cribbage, to peg out is to reach the winning score by moving your peg to the final hole on the board.
