Australian slang meaning exhausted, beaten, or completely done in -- typically used to describe physical or mental depletion after hard work or effort. The word derives from euchre, a card game where a player who fails to win the tricks they aimed for is said to be euchred. The Australian usage extended this to mean more broadly defeated or worn out.
After three sets in the heat, he was absolutely euchred and couldn't face another rally.

Australian slang for being completely wiped out, utterly exhausted, or thoroughly defeated. If you're euchred after a long day, you're not just tired — you're running on empty with nothing left to give. The term carries a sense of being outmanoeuvred or done over, not just physically drained. Common in casual Aussie conversation to describe that bone-deep fatigue after hard work, a rough night out, or a tough sporting match.
After three back-to-back shifts at the warehouse, Damo came home and collapsed on the couch — totally euchred.
