browned off 

Fed up, pissed off, disappointed.
Thought by some to have come from a euphemism for 'buggered', it is actually of 14th Century English origin, the original phrase was to be in a "Brown study", where 'brown' = dark & sombre, 'study' = a daydreamy state. Meaning has shifted to today's meaning, and the phrase has become "Browned off".
"I'm really browned off that I paid £50 for a ticket, and couldn't get in to the show."
