1. Adj. Something that has been repeated so often, become so popular, or the exposure to which is so widespread that it is no longer hip or cool.

Something may be played out to the degree that it can never be hip or cool again, or it may be played out temporarily, for example when one gets too drunk for days in a row, then says "drinking is played out," and then gets drunk again the following weekend.
2. Adj. A person who goes onto UrbanDictionary.Com and looks up words to add, only to find that other people have already entered the same words with the same or better definitions than said person had in mind.

It usually refers to a place where a mine, or mineral deposit was once rich with minerals, but is now depleted through mining activity. It can also refer to a fishing hole that has had a lot of its fish caught, or a casino table that has turned "cold."
