"Bork factor"???

Seems to have been a long time since it was heard of around these parts...

Anyone else immediately think of chicken in a basket or chocolate moose when they hear the word Bork?

I haven't actually seen this so googled it. Seems most of the results were from pistonheads. Apparently it's still being used in the BMW forum.

Presumably it's a pistonheads in joke?

Oddly enough I've been using this phrase quite a lot in the past couple weeks.

I have been looking at V12 7 series BMW's, so this would make sense...

Hopefully 'pull the trigger' will follow it soon. Seems to be in wider usage now. Where did it come from?!

The word "bork" emphasises that something is broken. In the same way as "Teh".

But what's "bork [i]factor[i]" a brokenness indicator?

Others I hope will die,

"I will just leave this here"

As well as anything that starts "So....", "Talk to me about...." or any use of "Methinks".

Any threads that start with "so" should just be deleted.
So, that's what you think is it.
