    FUBAR is certainly worse. Borked has a ring to it, though...

    borked.

    Fubar is far too commonplace to be taken seriously.

    borked is not as bad as fubar.

    but <b><i>bjorked</i></b> is worse than fubar.

    Very nice. If something's b0rked, I believe it can be fixed.

    FUBAR is worse. If somethings broke you can sometimes fixed it, but if something is **** up beyond all repair/recognition... well you can't fix it or it will be extremly hard.

    I'd say FUBAR. Think about the contexts you'd use them in.

    Round h'yah, you go to S&I and post something kinda stale-ish, people tell you to use the search. Unless you know how to do it right, this doesn't work, of course. You might get some results, but they're weird results. So you say "yo mods, the search is borked." (This of course prompts people to tell you to use the search again, since that too is an old topic, but I digress... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    Now let's say you were one of the first people to start using Steam instead of WON. Your first reaction obviously would've been "Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot?!?!? This crap is FUBAR." *uninstall* (Note: this isn't Steam-bashing. 'Cuz it works better now and all that. But if you got in early, you really got the shaft for a while.)

    Borked is like temporary...fubar is permanent in my view.

    I've been partial lately to the expression my friend uses when we're wasted

    FUAF

    pronounced

    FOO-AF!

    borked just sounds cooler

    the semi-official progression of broken things

    snafu: suboptimal
    borked: repairable
    tarfun: bad (possibly repairable)
    fubar: run ... away

    FUBAR? Borked? Bjorked?

    borked is a better word, how ever it is also a lesser problem.

    you bork a file, or your program.

    when windows/your computer/your program causes serious harm, then it is Fubared.

    bork is just broke.

    FUBAR is dead, dead, dead and a few other types of dead. FUBAR is when your computer BSODs, killing your research paper 5hrs before the deadline.

    Borked is the rolling brown out that happened over the summer, right as I had to hand in all of the work for my class.

    FUBAR would have been if the brownout was actualy The Blackout.

    What does bjorked mean?
  • ZigZig ...I am Captain Planet&#33; Join Date: 2002-10-23 Member: 1576Members
    it's ilke borked, except it has the word "bjork" in it. bjork is a famous singer.

    when you combine the two, you get BJORKED.

    By BBAR I mean Borked Beyond All Recognition.

    Or, in the worst of the worst, BJORKED Beyond all Recognition.

    Oh god man! This mission is FUBARED! We're all going to die!
    Oh god man! This mission is BORKED! We're all going to die!

    FUBAR sounds better in that situation. Borked would probably be more for somethign is broken, FUBAR is for a situation. Like your computer is borked before you big paper is due and it's on the hard drive, so you're FUBARED. HOO-AH!
