What is deglazing a frying pan?
Deglazing is a cooking technique for removing and dissolving browned food residue from a pan to flavor sauces, soups, and gravies.
When a piece of meat is roasted, pan fried or prepared in a pan with another form of dry heat, a deposit of browned sugars, carbohydrates, and/or proteins forms on the bottom of the pan, along with any rendered fat. The French culinary term for these deposits is sucs.
The meat is removed and the majority of the fat is poured off, leaving a small amount with the dried and browned meat juices. The pan is returned to the heat, and a liquid such as vegetable or meat stock, a spirit, some wine, or verjuice is added to act as a solvent. This allows the cook to scrape the dark spots from the bottom of the pan and dissolve them, incorporating the remaining browned material at the bottom of the pan into a basic sauce.[2]The culinary term fond, French for "base" or "foundation", refers to this sauce, although it is also sometimes used to describe the browned food bits instead (commonly in the United States).
The flavour is determined chiefly by the meat, the liquid used for deglazing, and any flavouring or finishing ingredients added, such as aromatics, herbs, or butter.
This method is the cornerstone of many well known sauces and gravies. The resulting liquid can be seasoned and served on its own (sometimes called a jus), or with the addition of aromatic vegetables, such as onions orshallots, carrots and celery, or used as the base for a soup. The sauce can also be thickened by whisking in butter, through the addition of a starch, such as flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot, or simply simmered down with a steady heat to form a rich, concentrated reduction.

Combie, or more commonly, 'combi', is short for combination. In reference to the context of the question about a "fried out combie", it comes from the first segment of a song by Men At Work titled Land Down Under.
Since this group is from Australia, the word combie is an idiom; it refers to some combination. In this case, it means a combination van, specifically a non-commercial passgenger van that is combined with a tent. The roof of the combie vans 'pops up' to form a small type of tent to allow for extra room in the van, normally for sleeping.
'Fried out' is another idiom but could be either from a specific country or as slang from users of certain recreational drugs. Again, being that the group Men at Work is from Australia, "fried out" could refer to something overheated or used up due to overuse or abuse. As far as that reference in drug culture, it could refer to coming down from a high or other drug experience or even overdose/over use.
Drawing together the explanations above, the "fried out combie" is an overused or overheated combination travel van.
