Peched is a wonderfully expressive Scottish word for being completely out of breath, exhausted, or worn out — especially from physical effort. If you've just run for a bus, hauled shopping up a hill, or chased a toddler around a park, you're peched. The word (sometimes spelled peched or pechit) comes from the Scots verb "pech," meaning to pant or gasp. It's deeply embedded in everyday Scottish speech and perfectly captures that state of red-faced, heaving-chest exhaustion that needs its own word.
