/bohgot@fi:/ , vt. To make or become bogus. A program that has been changed
|
|
|
|
|
so many times as to become completely disorganized has become bogotified. If
|
|
|
|
|
you tighten a nut too hard and strip the threads on the bolt, the bolt has
|
|
|
|
|
become bogotified and you had better not use it any more. This coinage led
|
|
|
|
|
to the notional autobogotiphobia defined as the fear of becoming bogotified
|
|
|
|
|
; but is not clear that the latter has ever been live jargon rather than a
|
|
|
|
|
self-conscious joke in jargon about jargon. See also bogosity , bogus.
