"Bork"; Derivation, please?

[AdvanceRoadcraft]

I worked out what it means ages ago.

But for the life of me I can't think where it comes from.

Please put an old man out of his misery; thanks.

Looks like this is the origin.


borked

If the link doesn't work, it may be borked...

To have one's character assasinated;
as in the treatment by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee of Supreme Court Justice nominee Robert Bork.
"You sure got borked on that deal."

Interesting that there are two possible derivations of it.

You can now put google's default language to "Bork Bork Bork" which makes everything still understandable but how the Swedish Chef would say it.

Back on topic though, rather than say "it's borked", I would say "it's fked". Same thing to me.
