wrecked
Beyond all repair
Wrecked describes something destroyed or badly damaged—a wrecked car, a wrecked ship, a wrecked building.
Extended uses cover anything ruined: a wrecked marriage, wrecked plans.
Informally, wrecked means exhausted or intoxicated: I was completely wrecked after the marathon; We got wrecked at the party last night.
