What it means
Means you’re absolutely drained and running on fumes, like your body’s hit 1% and the charger’s in another postcode. You say it when you’re past normal tired and even basic life admin feels like climbing Everest. Similar vibe to knackered, wiped, or shattered, just with extra I’ve got nothing left in the tank energy.
Usage examples
"I’m zapped out, mate. Took the kids to the park, pushed swings, then legged it after a rogue football. Can’t even text back now."
"After moving day from the old flat to the new place I was completely zapped out, sat on a cardboard box drinking lukewarm tea, the boyfriend ordered pizza without me even asking."
"The twins kept us up till four in the morning with the teething drama, both parents zapped out by eight am, the grandma showed up with coffee and silently took over the morning shift."
