Nadgered is British slang for being completely worn out — the feeling of having nothing left in the tank. It sits in the same register as knackered or shattered: entirely exhausted, physically or mentally. The word has a satisfying unglamorous quality, like the feeling it describes. Common in informal British speech, especially in the north.
After the double shift I was absolutely nadgered — straight to bed, no dinner.
