核心畫面

The packet records whacked as the past participle of whack, to hit hard, so a useful picture to hold is simply what something looks like after it has been hit. A person who has been hit that hard has nothing left and sits down: that is the tired meaning. A person whose head has been knocked about is not tracking the room any more, and does not seem in control: that is the whacked out meaning. A situation that has been knocked sideways is not the shape it should be, and the speaker is complaining about it: that is the third. Take this as a way of holding three meanings together, not as a claim about how each one actually came into the language.

資料裡記著 whacked 是動詞 whack(用力打)的過去分詞,所以可以想成:一樣東西被狠狠打過之後的樣子。人被更多收起資料裡記著 whacked 是動詞 whack(用力打)的過去分詞,所以可以想成:一樣東西被狠狠打過之後的樣子。人被打到那種程度,就整個沒力氣、只能坐下——這是「累垮」。腦袋被打得暈頭轉向,就跟不上周圍、也管不住自己——這是 whacked out。一件事被打歪了,形狀就不對了,說的人正在抱怨——這是第三個意思。這是把三個意思串在一起記的方法,不是在說它們在歷史上真的是這樣長出來的。
