Low Battery

Adjective Phrase · Slang & Abbreviations

Definitions

  1. A metaphor for being mentally or physically depleted, often used humorously during long debugging or release stretches. In engineering slang, admitting you are low battery can be healthier than pretending judgment is still sharp.

    In plain English: Running low on energy, patience, or mental capacity.

    Example: "By the last rollback rehearsal the whole room was low battery, which is exactly why they postponed the final cutover to normal business hours."
