Definitions
A vivid Scottish and British military slang term meaning completely drained, exhausted, or — in army slang — properly drunk. When you're puggled, you've got nothing left: your energy, your focus, and possibly your balance have all deserted you. The Scottish sense leans toward fatigue and mental depletion, while the military usage slants toward being intoxicated. Either way, the word perfectly captures a state of total spent-ness that 'tired' just doesn't do justice to.
After twelve hours on the ward without a break, she got home, sat on the sofa, and was absolutely puggled.

(British, Irish, Commonwealth, vulgar, slang) Exhausted.
- mushed65%
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.
- plugg pilled65%
Getting plugg pilled means you've taken the deep dive into plugg music and there's no coming back — you've been converted, and now every other genre sounds slightly too loud, too fast, or too eager in comparison. The plugg pill hits differently because the music doesn't announce itself; it seeps in slowly until one day you realize nothing else sounds right at 2am. Plugg pilled listeners find themselves defaulting to the genre even when it doesn't fit the moment, sending links to disinterested friends, and lowering the energy of every playlist they touch on purpose.
