   who invented the word 'borked'?
  Last night I played FFX2. I scanned one of the ladies, and read the description. I was shocked that I found the word ''borked'' in the same meaning we are using it, ''broken.''I thought we are the only one using it. I know people here mispelling words a lot to show humor, and I thought ''borked'' is one of them.I couldn''t find it in the dictionary, tried www.dictionary.com but they have premium membership, tried google didn''t work out, tried m-w.com, didn''t come out either.so, who started it? 
  I did. ;  I dunno, I think Swedish people say "bork" a lot ;  I think it''s german for ''broken'' or something like that :\ ;  Nein! ;  Broken --> Broked --> BorkedYou honestly couldn''t figure that out?

A bunch of Muppets-watching nerds (unlike me; I don''t watch the Muppets) noticed that bork sounds like broke, and so bork entered hackish language.   Christopher S.

Soon, a verb was invented from his name: to be borked is to be roughly treated and then fail confirmation at a Congressional confirmation hearing. Many critics attacked Bork''s confirmation process as being purely ideologically based, and alleged that in the future, the only judges that would survive the confirmation process would be judges who had never ruled on, or publically spoken about their views on, controversial matters such as abortion."borked" has been around for about 10 years now, although not necessarily with the meaning that you''re giving it.
