"Clapped, it's a synonym for chopped, basically something or someone ugly, bad, or whatever. Basically unattractive. An example would be, oof, you're gonna wear that? That fit is clapped."

"Peak. In a stricter sense, it is a word to refer to something at the peak of its domain, the best of the best, but more current usage means that people mainly use it just to say that something is really, really unfortunate. Dude, did you see that new movie that came out, Project Hail Mary? Oh my god, yes, that shit was so peak!"
Wasteman
"Darren promised he'd help me move flat today, didn't even reply to my texts bruv, proper wasteman behaviour innit, not inviting him to the housewarming"
Bab
"Pop that on the counter for me, bab, and I'll bag it up. You want a receipt or are we saving the planet today? Either way, ta."
Clapped
"You seen Kyle’s new motor? Paid a grand and it’s already clapped, wing mirror taped on and the exhaust sounding like a Tesco trolley on cobbles"
Right
"Said I’d have one pint, ended up at the chippy at 3am. Came home a right mess, but it was a right laugh."
Peak
"Got to the O2 early, queued for an hour, and they shut the doors when I was next. That’s peak, bruv."
