Washed
Significado: Past your prime, no longer relevant or as good as you used to be.
Calling an artist or athlete 'washed' means their best days are behind them. It's a harsh judgment that their skills, creativity, or relevance have declined. 'Washed up' is the full form. It can be debated endlessly — 'Is he washed or just evolving?'
