Punch-drunk: In boxing, the term refers to behaving dazed, bewildered, or confused. Dementia pugilistica is a neurological disorder triggered by repeated punches to the head over an extended period of time; symptoms include dementia, inappropriate behavior, slurring of speech, which resemble symptoms of alcoholic intoxication. Figuratively, it refers to a state of confusion resulting from fatigue, overwork, burnout, continuous exposure to unpleasant situations, or perhaps even emotional upheaval, as in suffering repeated blows to one's ego or emotional well-being. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the boxing usage to 1918, the figurative to 1934.
