Bert, I think you mean Zimbuggered........
Reminds me of a story when RAF instructors had the same problems in Kenya during the '60's.
The pupil flew until he ran out of fuel and crashed his Chipmunk.
During the enquiry the student said, "Isch...but da gauge wasn't showing "F" for FINISHED !?"
The baffled inspectors then asked him what he thought the "E" stood for.
"Isch......"E" is for ENOUGH of course !"
I'll get my hat and coat...........
