When a phone's system is unusable or not bootable at all, but you can access the recovery or download mode, you can call it a soft brick/it gets soft-bricked. After downloading the original software, it should return to the usable state. It often happens after flashing a custom system.
A hard brick is similar, yet the very opposite. - A hard brick is a literal brick, because the firmware is well fucked up and you cannot even access the download mode.
"flashing" -> Copying/downloading a (custom) system onto an Android phone
"ROM" -> system
"Fastboot/Download mode" -> a mode on an Android phone that allows you to flash files directly into a phone's filesystem

To be hit in the head with a piece of stale French bread. To retaliate, defecate in a baguette and hit the bread thrower in the head with bread filled with shit.

Get the soft velvet underground mug.
A cheery, laid-back kind of music, supposedly derived from the much harsher genre of psyche (a punk subgenre), supposed to recreate the experience of hallucinogenic (psychadelic) drugs, though it has closer links to country. Mostly an extinct genre, popular during flower power.
