tucker

Food down under

Tucker means to tire out or exhaust, usually in the passive: I'm all tuckered out after that hike.

The word is informal and often folksy.

A tucker is also a piece of lace or cloth worn around the neck and shoulders, now mainly historical—surviving in the expression best bib and tucker, meaning one's finest clothes. (Capitalized Tucker is a surname or given name.)
