Bricked
의미: When a device becomes completely non-functional, as useful as a brick.
A bricked device — phone, computer, game console — is one that won't turn on or function at all, usually due to a failed software update, bad firmware, or attempted modification. The term captures the horror of your expensive device becoming nothing more than a paperweight. It's also used metaphorically when any system or situation is completely broken.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- Don't say a device is 'bricked' if it's just slow or glitchy — bricked means completely non-functional, not just underperforming设备只是慢了点或有小毛病,别说'变砖了'——变砖意味着完全无法使用,而不是性能下降No digas que un dispositivo está 'bricked' si solo va lento o falla — bricked significa completamente inservible, no simplemente que rinda poco動作が遅いだけのデバイスを「文鎮化した」とは言わない——brickedは完全に動かなくなった状態を指し、性能低下のことではない그냥 느리거나 버그가 있다고 기기가 '벽돌이 됐다'고 말하지 마라——벽돌은 완전히 작동 불능을 뜻하며, 성능이 떨어지는 것과는 다르다
기원과 역사
From the idea that a non-functional electronic device has the same utility as a brick. The term became common in the early 2000s with the rise of smartphone modifications, custom ROMs, and firmware hacking, where botched updates frequently rendered devices useless.
