had it

"Had it" is a widely used Pidgin expression applied to both objects and people. When referring to an object, it means the item is broken beyond repair, completely worn out, or useless. When referring to a person, it describes a state of extreme physical or mental exhaustion, similar to being "wasted" or "dead tired" after a long day of work. It is appropriate in almost any casual setting, from job sites to family gatherings, and perfectly captures the local pragmatism of knowing when something (or someone) has reached its absolute limit.

Darryl wiped the grease from his forehead with a shop rag, glaring at the dismantled washing machine taking up half the Waipahu driveway. He had spent the entire Saturday morning trying to salvage the rusted motor, convinced that the old ways of fixing things were superior to just throwing money at Home Depot. "Just need one new belt and some WD-40," he muttered, tapping the corroded housing with his wrench.

Sina leaned against the carport pillar, shaking her head as she sipped her iced coffee. She had already pulled up the reviews for a new LG washer on her phone. "Dad, look at that thing. The drum is rusted through and the motor smells like burning hair. It's completely had it. Just let it go already."

Lori walked out of the kitchen screen door carrying a plate of fresh cut papaya, taking one look at the scattered bolts and Darryl's frustrated expression. "Sina is right, Darryl," she sighed, setting the plate on the hood of the Corolla. "You said the same thing about the rice cooker in ninety-eight. Sometimes you gotta admit when the machine is just dead."
