plumb tuckered out
Exhausted.
Origin:
It's no surprise that 'tuckered out' is an American phrase. No 'B-feature' western from the 1930s and 1940s was complete without Gabby Hayes being 'plumb tuckered out'. Hayes' contribution to the genre was celebrated by Mel Brooks in the 1974 film Blazing Saddles. In that, a look-alike actor played the part of Gabby Johnson, spouting 'authentic frontier gibberish' - "dad gum it, I am gonna die here an' no sidewindin bushwackin, hornswaglin, cracker croaker is gonna rouin me biscuit cutter".
An example is from the Wisconsin Enquirer, April 1839:
"I reckoned to have got to the tavern by sundown, but I haven't - as I'm prodigiously tuckered out."
'Plumb tuckered out' is somewhat later and the first example is from the Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette, February 1889: "They'll get plumb tuckered out waitin."
The actual derivation of this phrase is quite prosaic. 'Tucker' is a colloquial New England word, coined in the early 19th century, meaning 'to tire' or 'to become weary'. 'Tuckered out' is just a straightforward use of that. 'Plumb' is just an intensifier. 'Tuckered out' is rarely seen alone.

plum tuckered
Da feeling of utter exhaustion dat you get after majorly chowing down on Australian food dat's been prepared with copious quantities of luscious juicy purple "stool-softener" fruits.
Maybe if da landowner and da "troopers, one-two-three" has simply hidden and waited till da "jolly swag-man" had boiled da "jolly jumbuck" in his "billy" and then added some fresh lavender-colored oversize tree-berries to da pot, said "gleeful" stock-rustler would have been so "plum tuckered" after greedily devouring said fruit-embellished delicacy dat he could have been arrested and hauled off to jail, instead of simply running off and drowning himself in da billabong.

Nutshot
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
