While all three of us are technically correct,
I'm using the one that UNIX beards think of.

UrbanDictionary.COM/define.php?term=Borked

  Something is "borked" when it doesn't work correctly
  or misbehaves, generally due to negligence by 
  the person(s) that are responsible for it.

  Etymology:  Combine one part "broken" 
  and one part Swedish Chef and you get "borked."

  This website is borked.
  That mechanic borked your car.
