Meaning
Tired and worn out — bone-tired from hard work or a long day. Beyond plain tiredness, to be 'weary of' something or someone in Jamaican use is to be sick and tired of it, fed up, worn down by it — 'mi weary a di whole ting' means I'm fed up with the whole business. So the word carries both the physical weariness of the labouring body and the mental weariness of having had enough.

Mi weary a di noise an di quarrel.
