fried
 adj.

   1. [common] Non-working due to hardware failure; burnt out. Especially
   used of hardware brought down by a power glitch (see {glitch}),
   {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
   {friode}, {SED} and {LER}. However, this term is also used
   metaphorically.) Compare {frotzed}.

   2. [common] 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." Esp.: common in conjunction with brain: "My
   brain is fried today, I'm very short on sleep."
