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.
