fried
1. Non-working due to hardware failure burnt out. Especially used of hardware brought down by a "power glitch" (see ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=glitch">glitch), ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=drop-outs">drop-outs, a short, or some other electrical event. (Sometimes this literally happens to electronic circuits! In particular, resistors can burn out and transformers can melt down, emitting noxious smoke - see ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=friode">friode, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=SED">SED and ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=LER">LER. However, this term is also used metaphorically.) Compare ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=frotzed">frotzed. 2. Of people, exhausted. Said particularly of those who continue to work in such a state. Often used as an explanation or excuse. "Yeah, I know that fix destroyed the file system, but I was fried when I put it in." Especially common in conjunction with "brain": "My brain is fried today, I' m very short on sleep."
