He had nae pith left - He had no energy left.

Interestingly this is another good example of our tongues linguistic roots as the the word pithy (which comes from the word pith) is a middle English (1300-50) word meaning 'expressive' or 'forceful'.


As another internet acquaintance of mine said, "Jist anither example of hoo tha Inglis borrowed thur wurds frae tha Scots."
