In
theological terms (according to Wikipedia),
total depravity means this:
[Total depravity] is the teaching that, as a consequence of the Fall of Man, every person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin and, apart from the efficacious or prevenient grace of God, is utterly unable to choose to follow God or choose to accept salvation as it is offered.
Here is what it does
not mean (in my words):
Total depravity does
not mean that you are as bad as you possibly could be, or perform as many bad actions as you could possibly perform.
