lindened

verb: Screwed up, botched, ruined. Something is said to be "lindened" when a situation is made worse by an action that was intended to make things better.

This word originated in the Second Life community in response to the chronic troubles following Second Life upgrades.

My brakes were squeaking a bit so I got them worked on - now they are completely lindened - it won't stop at all.

LinkedIn

An online forum originally intended for professional people to form links with others that they know and trust professionally in order to further their own and their company’s business interests. LinkedIn was co-founded by Reid Hoffman who was previously Executive Vice President in charge of business and corporate development for PayPal and was launched in 2003. Unfortunately, like so many other things (Urban Dictionary for example), it has been overrun by talentless, self-aggrandising wannabes who have nothing to offer the workplace except copious quantities of bullshit.
Interestingly, Hoffman stated that 27 percent of LinkedIn subscribers are recruiters; perhaps this would explain why using recruiters to solve a staffing problem is usually a complete disaster, they’re so full of their own bullshit they believe everyone else’s.

“Have you heard that Malcolm has put up a profile on LinkedIn? Delusions of grandeur or what!”
“Delusions of grandeur? That fuckwit Heale shouldn’t even have delusions of adequacy!”

Linen Cabinet

A group of official Presidential Advisors who are blatantly racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, and otherwise driven by mendacity in service of hate.

We've had Jackson's "Kitchen Cabinet "to go along with the regular "Parlor Cabinets" but before Donald Trump no-one had the audacity to nominate a Linen Cabinet.

lindened

The process of taking something, and in an effort to improve it, making it worse.

Particularly as applied to softwear programs, wherein updates generally result in more bugs than they fix, or more old features broken than new ones introduced.

"He told me he was going to fix my car, but now it's all Lindened and won't even start."
