knackered=tired, cba = can't be arsed

I had knackered down already (I read too much Brit chick lit
) but cba was a new one on me. I was also familiar with "can't be arsed" (can't be bothered) but not enough to connect it to cba.
A knacker, for those on my side of the pond, is someone who collects and renders wornout and dead animals, especially livestock.
Btw, great looking job on that rig!Last edited by Lady Fitzgerald; 12 Jan 2014 at 16:10. Reason: sidetracked

A knacker over here is something that's warn out, a beat up car or an old horse for example.

Ryan, I'd be happy to be an honorary Brit, with a name to match.
Now I know I'm a knacker.

So you need to go to the knackers yard along with me as my body is knackered from all this surgery pain....Knackered in England does come from the old livestock meaning, Origin from 'knacker's yard' where one took old horses to become pots of glue. Also you do not want to be kicked in the knackers in England (or anywhere else frankly) either if you get my meaning......And "I tried to fix my dad's PC but now it's more knackered than ever". Should have posted or help on Seven Forums....
