We don't use the word in American English, but he looks knackered. Rode hard and put up wet, as the saying goes.

Could we all just take a moment to appreciate this turn of phrase.................................

I don't have the slightest clue what it could mean...

You guys are filthy. Filthy, I say!

*tries to look completely innocent...*

Okay, then here is a well-known pic which certainly won't make us think any filthy thoughts...

This Is The Phantom Lady · January 5, 2016 3:10 pm

Can any picture of that man really be considered purely innocent?

" which certainly won't make us think any filthy thoughts..." I don't understand...

You guys have no idea how filthy I could be if I wasn't actually trying to behave myself.

Not when filterend through our minds, they can't.

To think I was a lot more innocent before joining here...

Very descriptive. 'Course if our minds weren't in the gutter, we'd KNOW it just means a horse that's been ridden at a gallop until it's all lathered up and then should have been groomed, blanketed, fed and watered, not just left to stand there all dirty and sweaty and chilled. Oh oh, the description was worse than my gutterish imagination. OK, time to move along, nothing to see here heh

Sorry, I can't see so well just now. I'm still face down in the gutter.

Oh, I think I do. I think you and I are very probably sisters separated at birth. *splashes gutter water at tonnaree*

Somebody say dapper jacket and hair? (you girls watch out, he's giving you the side-eye!)
