Word of the day: brick

The word of the day is brick:

verb (used with object)

  1. Informal. to cause (an electronic device) to become completely nonfunctional
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/brick)


"I have never seen a work of fiction so perfectly capture the out-of-nowhere shock of discovering that you've just bricked something important because you didn't pay enough attention to a loose wire."
