Worn Slap Out

When someone says that they are worn out, they generally mean that they have reached exhaustion. But when a Southerner says that they are “worn slap out” it means that they are completely fatigued, both in mind and body. This is a saying that is most commonly heard when the weather hikes up to extreme temperatures, and the intense summer sunshine begins taking its toll on Southerners. The southern states’ heat is no laughing matter, and it has to be experienced to understand how unforgiving such radiance is.
