A lot of very good and creative answers, but none correct so far...
The answer is right there inside the word.
(Note: This word will NOT be included in the new edition of the OED.)

Another hour and if no one has given it, I'll post the answer. In the meanwhile if someone has an intelligent question actually worthy of our time, PLEASE hit us with it!.

OK... hour's up.

"What does "Exhaustipated" mean?"

It means 'too tired to give a sh$t!'


Time for my chores. Someone please throw another question... hopefully better'n mine!

Pullleeeeeezzzzz......


I am honored to say that I equaled Ernst Jakob Henne's 1935 speed record, and in the very same location, (the A3 autobahn (Frankfurt-München route, Germany), while riding the same make motorcycle (BMW) while roadracing with a group of friends. We were actually flagged down by police and told to go slower despite the Autobahn's "No Speed Limit" permission at the time. It really is amazing that I've lived this long...
