I love new words. Or words I haven't seen or heard in ages. I thought this word seemed appropriate for this time of year.
It means:
Extremely tired. Exhausted. No longer working, especially after long and/ or hard use.
From Merriam-Webster: "She was too knackered to join them for dinner.
I'm absolutely knackered, so no pub-crawling for me tonight."

@celticeagle Believe me, they do not speak the same language in Yorkshire.
