.... F**ked...Another UK term I don't know if the US has a term for it " Clapped or Clapped Out" the reference originated from back in the days of the Music Hall/Variety shows If an artist was not good the audience kept up a continuess quicker than the slow hand clap but not as quick as the clap of approval until the performer left the stage It was adopted for a bit of kit that was no longer any good due to wear /poor performance Hence a blunt/worn out saw chain would be termed "Clapped /Clapped Out".
The Brits can speak Anglo Saxon pretty well it's other nations that have altered the original with words that suit themselves. The UK although a small country has a good few variations on the language that even residents of other parts of the country cannot understand.I've heard: " You invented this language and can't even speak it." Pertaining to England and their speaking /slang.
More of a cowboy saying than a term, but if someone has really abused, or neglected, something, someone might say that it 'looks like it was rode hard and put away wet'.. . . a blunt/worn out saw chain would be termed "Clapped /Clapped Out".
