And this is me...  Yes they have the jist of the meaning. Not used much 
to-day by the young ones and in the 60 - 70's  "It's Shagged" was the 
more common  term  used.    Today  "it's Fucked" is what you are more 
likely to hear.   I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

  One if it's uses twas " That  knocked kneed - Knackerd old wind bag " 
referring to the wife or mother in law
