It was a common phrase, I wouldn't be surprised if it was used in Bonanza at some point.

"Tuckered out" is another old time phrase, meaning tired, weary, "plumb tuckered out" as Gabby Hayes might say.

Speaking of Gabby Hayes, here are some great Gabby quotes from various pictures (no sign of "tuckered out", though).

Thanks Tim.

I see that at about 2:00 minutes into this 2:54 min. video seen 41,690 times AND at the end, there he is sitting on his "sewing machine"! (;-)

I've never heard a car referred to as a sewing machine before.

I get a kick out of seeing the actor in the background grinning as Gabby says, "This is an outrage! A dad-burned outrage!"
