One of my favorite things gained from my crazy pregnancy is the international network of women whom I have had the privilege of getting to know through online support groups. One of my favorite things gained from these international friends is the vastly different vocabulary I get to learn from each of them. One of my favorite new terms these days originates from the U.K. And it is just so perfectly descriptive I couldn't not share. Without further ado I give you today's international slang word of the day:
spent, near death.
Origin from 'knacker's yard' where one took old horses to become pots of glue.
On my feet all day and I'm knackered.
And with that, I am going to bed because I am positively knackered.
