I heard the sentence in a movie:
I'm kind of slammed.
My guess is that I'm kind of overwhelmed by lots of work. But I am not quite sure. What does it truly mean? Under what circumstances would it possibly be used?

It's not an expression that I have heard used, but the Urban Dictionary defines it like this: urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=slammed– JavaLatteJan 8, 2018 at 8:24

According to Dictionary.com it's derived from Swedish:
- slamra {vb} EN: to clatter, to pound, to pound away, to pound out.
Without knowing which movie you refer to it likely means drunk or busy (a lot on my plate, a lot on my mind).
