A manager, at the end of a five or ten minute session, often emerged sweating, limp and frazzled.
You couldn't be anything I wouldn't like. You're living too close and your nerves are sort of frazzled. What you need is a jolly good time. Come back to Boston and forget all about this business. Come, I want folks to meet you. My mother knows how I feel about you, and is crazy to see you." "What would she say if she knew what I have told you?" she asked, bitterly.
I have never," said the old lady with conviction, "seen such a frazzled lot of folks as B-flat trombone players." "The person who inserted the advertisement ?" "Has left. A month since."

We shall have to find out, shan't we?
Contrary to his impeccant habit, Average Jones bore the somewhat frazzled aspect of a man who has been up all night.

I'm representing the New York Amalgamated Short Snap Biscuit Cracker and Frazzled Wheat Company." This statement delighted Mike to such an extent that Jimmy had to take a seltzer-and-milk on the spot. He never touched "hard" drinks.
