A British dialectal adjective describing someone who is utterly worn out, exhausted, or run ragged — as if they've been physically pounded into softness like overcooked vegetables. Mushed captures that specific state of fatigue where you're not just tired but depleted, flattened by effort or stress. It works as a vivid alternative to knackered or shattered in regional British English, conjuring a more tactile sense of being reduced to mush by the demands of the day.
After working a double shift on a bank holiday weekend, she came home completely mushed.
