Morphology

totally + zogged

The intensifier 'totally' is transparent, but the lexical core 'zogged' is not a recognized English word (nonce/slang) and carries the primary meaning, so a learner who only knows the constituents cannot derive 'extremely tired'. There is no clear morphological or cross-linguistic logic linking 'zogged' to exhaustion, making the phrase unpredictable for B1 learners.

Etymology

Totally zogged may come from the idea of your energy being suddenly 'zapped' away; think of zogged as like a battery losing power. So if you are totally zogged, you are 'extremely tired' or 'completely worn out'.
