If I said to you..."I am chewed to bits" how might you translate what I'm saying?

Asked by ucme (50047points) May 10th, 2020

This is common dialect up where I am from.
That last sentence should be read in the voice of Eliza Dolittle :D

You’ve had enough for the day and you’re almost level with the ground

@lucillelucillelucille is accurate here—it means overworked to where there is no more capacity left.

Its like saying, “I am like a grape in chicken salad.”

ucme's avatar

No one, as of yet is correct lol

@ucme-Does it mean to be told “what for”?

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme- It means you’re wearing that hotdog costume again in front of the dog.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille As much as I want that to be true & trust me, I don’t, it is again, incorrect.

@ucme,-Well I am flummoxed. Is that it?

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille I love that word, gives my tongue a real work out…ahem, stop that, It’s silly!
Again though, wrong!

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme -You bit your own tongue! That is it, isn’t it!

Something like tickled pink? Delighted?

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Go away, you’re bothering me :D
@kruger_d I love having my pink tickled…oh matron…behave!
You could not be further from the truth, a clue of sorts :-)

@ucme Don’t you mean:Goeth awayth yer botttherin’ meethpbbbt?

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille So now you soaked my screen in spitoon…great!
Now, look at the clue & think straight woman!

Exasperated.

Dragged through a knothole backwards.

Exhausted.
Or literally mauled into many pieces by a wild animal.

ucme's avatar

Time to wrap this up & due to the huge clue @kruger_d was closest.
Chewed to bits is when you’re so frustrated/irritated, you actually itch :D
Very rarely does it happen to me, ask me to make dumplings on a hot day though…whoosh!

Not sure what you wanted it translated for….

kritiper's avatar

I didn’t know that this was a test. I thought it was a legitimate question…

I feel like hammered shit.

That was what we called ‘mystery meat’ when I was in school, @RabidWolf
