The word "borked" is really nice. I don't know exactly what it means but I use it all the time.
Discussion
It means:
🛠 broken
or
🐶 the sound a dog might make
Do we even need to know what it means to use such a great word? 🤔

I feel like it's such an irish term... 😂 I use it all the time.
Example in a sentence:
"Bitcoiners and Nostr users are being borked by Apple and other getekeepers."
Definitely more 'broken' vibes.
I just pushed to prod and borked it.
Did apple bork you? Show us on the protocol where they borked you.
I’ve actually never heard that term before. Is it regional or did you make it up? Sounds like something out of Futurama.
Farnsworth: Don’t do that Fry or you’re liable to get borked!
Fry: Borked? What’s that mean.
Farsnworth: *shutters* *squints eyes* you don’t want to know…
A dad classic
This is the right way to do language.
You are borking great 🤙
That’s borked up
I also love this word. I believe the etymology is attributed to a judge who failed his nomination to the supreme court.
I don't know if this is true but I will believe in it anyway. No way you could have made this Robert Bork guy out of nowhere.
Haha I learnt about him from listening to wise elders.
In 1987, conservative judge Robert Bork endured such virulent criticism … that to this day, a nominee sidelined by activists is said to have been "borked."

But yeah, that's just my best effort explanation for the etymology... I'm not 100% confident in it...
just dropped borked at work to describe a failed db schema migration
