bogotify
 /boh?go't@?fi:/, vt.

    To make or become bogus. A program that has been changed so many times as
    to become completely disorganized has become bogotified. If you tighten a
    nut too hard and strip the threads on the bolt, the bolt has become
    bogotified and you had better not use it any more. This coinage led to the
    notional autobogotiphobia defined as ?the fear of becoming bogotified?; but
    is not clear that the latter has ever been ?live? jargon rather than a
    self-conscious joke in jargon about jargon. See also bogosity, bogus.
