A humorous hacker's term for diagnostic lights on old mainframe computers and modern network hardware. The word is supposed to give the average English speaker the impression that it is a German word.

Get the Brinkering mug.To be in the state of surviving corporate cruelty. To move beyond stressing about success and failure, beyond presenting the acceptable face. To be released to finding new meaning behind the façade. To have faced the worst and survived. To be laughing at pain. State of moving beyond bullshit to authenticity and being alive. (and its a little bit cruel).
Hey Joe, you look great. I heard you brinked out.
Yea I brinked, I put in all the work and those douchebags took the credit and fired my ass, but I'm done with the spladder, set up on my own and I feel great!
