I’m pooped – ways to say I’m Tired in English

by Yvonne Crawford | Mar 15, 2010 | English Idioms, English Vocabulary | 14 comments

It’s important to expand you vocabulary and learn new ways to say thing same thing. Instead of saying, “I’m tired” all of the time when you feel tired try:

I’m beat.
I’m exhausted.
I’m pooped.
I’m worn out.
I’m done.
I’m sleepy.
I’m spent.
I’m flat out tired.
I’m dead on my feet.
I’m running on empty.
I’m running on fumes.
I’m fatigued.
I’m tired out.
I’m weary.
I’m dog tired.
I’m tired to the bone.
I’m knackered.
I’m dragging.

thanks! cool! however, ‘i’m sleepy’ is a little bit different :-))

I think it depends on the context. I can say I’m tired and I’m sleepy and mean the exact same thing. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by Max!
