A new term for the opposite of elite

[pseydtonne]

When one breaks something, it is hosed. Sometimes one doesn't want to type something as harsh as "you're hosed". This led me to think of a Leetspeak solution:

hosed => h053d

This led me to another thought: that looks like a hexadecimal number.

h053d ~= 53dh == 0x053d
      == (5 * 256) + (3 * 16) + 13
      == (5 * 250) + (5 * 6) + 48 + 13
      == 1250 + 30 + 61
      == 1341

Aha! Instead of 1337 (leet), it's 1341. I like it! Anyone else?

Don't stop there, there's hosed, horked, b0rked, brok3n, ...

So L337 is numerology for nerds?

Horked has two meanings. I use "horked" to be onomatopoetic for the sound of an object vomming to death, thus it would mean "it threw up and died." However, the Canadian meaning of hork is "to steal", as shown in Strange Brew: "Somebody horked our clothes!" Thus I left it out because I assumed my meaning was incorrect and the Canadian meaning is valid.

As to your question: y35.

P.S.: Spell check had no problem with my version of 'onomatopoetic' but lots of problems with 'hork', 'horked' and 'vomming'.

Horked has been used in my past coding circles to indicate "something that was working has now been made not-working, probably due to an unrelated change". As in, "The dialog box code you checked in horked the install routines..."
