заебал (zayebal)

What it means

1. 1.

   You've worn me out; I've had enough of you. Always in the past tense with the offender as subject — ты заебал — and always about accumulated irritation rather than a single offence.

2. 2.

   The reflexive заебался means 'I'm exhausted', with no aggression in it at all: a builder saying я заебался at the end of a shift is describing his legs, not complaining about anyone.

Examples with translations

• Ты заебал уже со своими вопросами.

  I've had it up to here with your questions.

• Заебался за сегодня, сил нет.

  Absolutely knackered today, nothing left in the tank.

  Note: Said about oneself, this is tiredness rather than anger — but it is still mat and still unsayable at work.

Where it comes from

The perfective prefix за- on the mat verb ебать. The prefix supplies the sense of an action carried to its limit, exactly as it does in the entirely polite заговорить 'to talk someone's ear off'.
