I believer this is the first time I have ever seen a
use of the term "borked" in a discussion before. 

Newbies should be clued in that the term comes from
the nomination hearing of a Judge Bork to the Supreme
court (or a federal bench) -- where Democrates blocked
the Regan nominee. Hence the term, referring to a
blockage or an act of blockage. 

If I ever bothered with wiktionary, Id add a "borking"
entry :-)
