(British, and, Ireland, slang) Broken, ruined, shattered; confounded.

Here is his black heart sitting there as large as life in the middle of the pulp of his banjaxed corpse.
For parents

Banjaxed means: Broken, ruined, shattered; confounded.. It is mainly Irish English and may not be understood outside that context. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

banjaxed means: Broken, ruined, shattered; confounded.. Register: very informal, slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
