I was pretty spent?

[Torsten]

Hi, how often do you use the word 'spent' meaning 'tired' as in "After my 12 hour night shift I was pretty spent'.

Many thanks,
Torsten

Or... After my 12 hours night shift I was exhausted.

Guys is it fair to use "Pretty spent" It sounds weird to me ={

Is this sentence grammatically correct?

He is unsteady on his feet and has a risk of falling.

I didn't know that word, but I'll try to use first time
I'm pretty spent of such rare words

OK, thanks. But if I'm tired of hearing such rare words from others?

I have to disagree this time, Milanya. In casual English, 'pretty spent' sounds pretty natural to me. Maybe it's time to check with Ms Google:

I was pretty spent coming into Montpellier and wanted to quit.

My son has come home pretty spent the last few days because of the MEAs, but I LOVE that today is the last day of testing!

I wish I could write more, but my roomie Money Shot's wiped out and I'm pretty spent myself.

Andrew took us to see one more part of the city, but we were all pretty spent after walking all day so we headed back to the hotel.

These are all quite common utterances, at least in AmE.
