People use bricked incorrectly way too often. Leading to others wondering if they actually mean it is as functional as a brick or that it just crashed and thus can be rebooted or restored.

Then again I haven't personally bricked a device in a long time.

I have to say, I once came fairly close to bricking my router. However after I realized the router was complete and utter garbage I put the brick to it, so now it is officially bricked, office space style.
