pooched
Protruded like cheeks
Pooched is informal North American slang meaning ruined, broken, or messed up beyond repair.
If your phone screen is pooched, it's shattered; if your back is pooched, it's thrown out badly.
The transmission is completely pooched—we'll need a new car.
The term likely derives from pooch, slang for a dog, though the connection is unclear.
It's common in Canadian English and parts of the northern United States.
