He was rejected by the Senate, with many of the opinion that he and Reagan made a mistake. Therefore Borked means fucked up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] marquisalex@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) Huh, TIL - it just works so naturally as a typo that I assumed it started there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago That's the way it started for many of the tech people that I've known (typo). permalink fedilink source parent [–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago Bork also borked US agriculture as a federal judge.
