cashed

1. 1
   verb

   Simple past and past participle of cash.

   She cashed her paycheck before the long weekend.

   The savings bond was cashed shortly after it matured.

   Note

   One spelling does two jobs here. In she cashed the check it is the simple past, and in the check has been cashed it is the participle following have or be. The passive comes easily because what gets cashed is usually a document, such as a check or a bond. Card players also say a player cashed when they won a payout from a tournament, a slang use. The same spelling doubles as the slang "used up" adjective.

   Note

   A slang word for something with nothing left in it. A beer that is cashed has been drained, and a bowl that is cashed has been emptied. It most often follows is or was, and it belongs to casual talk among friends. Where you need a neutral tone, empty or used up does the same job. It can even be graded: more cashed, most cashed.
