It is used in Western Canada (especially Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia) to mean being trapped in a difficult, impossible, or hopeless situation, similar to "screwed" or "done for." People typically say "If we miss the last ferry, we're hooped" or "My car broke down, I'm hooped." The term originated in Western Canadian English in the late 20th century, possibly from military or hockey slang, and remains a regional marker of Western Canadian speech.
