1476-Caller-Mary-Tuckered-Out by A Way with Words

To be tuckered out, or “tired,” is thought to derive from the image of a starved quadruped that’s so skinny and worn out that it has a “tucked” appearance just behind the ribs. It may have been influenced by an older verb tuck, meaning “to chastise.” http://waywordradio.org via Pocket http://ift.tt/2tuTAM5
