Title: Borkination?
Post by: roberte on 2009 January 06, 15:16:09
What exactly is borkination. Someone mentioned it to me as an answer to a question I raised.

Doing a google search didn't provide a definition of the word/process and I'm curious to understand the meaning of the term.

Thanks for any enlightenment.

Bork - from "broke", as in "broken", presumeably an established internet spelling/usage that resulted when a misspelling caught on.

Urban Dictionary defines it as "irreversibly damaged"

Wiktionary:
to bork (third-person singular simple present borks, present participle borking, simple past and past participle borked)
1. To misconfigure, especially a computer or other complex device.
2. To break or damage.

"Borkination" is the state of being miscofigured or damaged or the process for damaging something.

Hence: "In EA's development process, borkination is an intrinsic part of TS2."
