   The Australian colloquial translation for “knocked up” – tired, exhausted, unable to work, shagged (coll.)
   Of course, American slang would be that you have to be “shagged” first before you could get “knocked up”. In Australia, it happens at the same time. LOL
   😀

   Shagged is Brit, not US slang. Although we’ve heard the term enough in movies.

     Brits are another minority we have been far too accomodating and easy on, as the inane coverage of the latest “royal baby” shows. We’re just going to have to ease up on Canada and spread the ridicule around to other pretend-miscreants, or we’re all doomed…(imagine one of Steven Goddard’s Homer/Hansen icons next to this comment, please–come on, just do it, somebody…)

       Oh, I get it — “knocked up” for “totally out of it” due to mass quantities of beer. Verrry interrrestingk…but stupid.
