This clue could be a double definition.

'being broke' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'legless' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for smashed that I've seen before include "Broken in pieces" , "Vandalised" , "Broke into small pieces" , "Drunk (as a broken bottle?)" , "completely sozzled" .)
