Extremely tired; exhausted.

How it's used
This adjective carries a sense of physical collapse or being completely drained of energy. It is far more expressive and emphatic than simply saying 攰. It is typically used to describe one's own state or the state of someone who looks visibly worn out after intense activity.
Examples
After working all day, I am really exhausted.
Related words
Common phrases
feeling completely exhausted all over
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the standard 攰, which is a neutral way to say tired. 癐拉拉 is an intensive form and sounds much more colloquial, so it is inappropriate for formal or professional written contexts.
