"Chewed Up"

"Chewed Up" is an idiomatic expression that typically describes something that has been heavily damaged, worn down, or exhausted, often as a result of intense use or stress. It can refer to physical objects, like machinery or paper, showing signs of wear, or to situations and emotions, indicating fatigue, burnout, or being emotionally drained. The phrase conveys a sense of thorough depreciation or depletion, emphasizing the extent to which whatever is being described has been processed or worn out, much like something that has been figuratively chewed into pieces.
