A Scottish dialect word meaning without energy, force, or vitality — listless, lethargic, or feeble. Something fizzenless has lost its fizz, its spark, its get-up-and-go. It can describe a person dragging themselves through the day, a performance that fails to excite, or an argument with no real force behind it. The word has a delightfully deflated quality to it, which makes it oddly perfect for describing exactly the kind of low-energy state it names.
He trudged into work looking completely fizzenless, like the weekend had taken more out of him than a full working week.
