About This Quote
There is a difference between being exhausted and being spent. Being exhausted means that you are so tired that you have no energy or drive to go anywhere. You are so tired that all you want to do is sleep, stay in bed, or sit around being lazy. On the other hand, being spent means that you are completely exhausted and drained of all energy.
You are so tired that you can’t even sit up straight. This second state is what prison officials are referring to when they say that inmates are “knackered.”
