Word usage changes, but it's super frustrating when a very specific term gets stretched and stretched until it barely means anything anymore.

Bricked mean it's literally as useful as a brick - maybe it's recoverable via a JTAG interface or something similarly obscure, but it's otherwise dead. It doesn't mean "temporarily disabled until I make enough annoying phone calls".
