It’s not a real word, it’s more of a slang word

It just changes the noun brick into a verb. So if a laptop has bricked, it means it’s like a brick now (useless)

Slang words are real. (And so is "ain't", and most words you can make up on the spot.)

Well duh. But that’s not the way I mean by real which everyone can understand, so you’re just being pedantic and annoying
