kota-biskota

From Albanian: Signifies illegitimacy and inability. From "kot" which means lame, useless, or serving no purpose and "biskotë" which means cookie. For instance, A young child playing hide and seek with older siblings is kotabiskota, because they cannot actually play competitively. The purpose is to obscure the designation "kot" from the young child playing by rhyming it with "biskotë".

Shqip: Tregon paaftesi apo mungese legjitimiteti. Vjen nga fjalët kot dhe biskotë. Për shembull, një fëmijë i vogël që luan hapa-dollapa me vëllezërit dhe motrat e mëdhaja, shpallet kotabiskota sepse nuk mund të konkurojë me ta. Qëllimi është të fshehim cilësimin "kot" nga fëmija, duke e rimuar me fjalën "biskotë".

Mendohet se origjina ka qenë e këtillë:

"Lëre atë të voglin, se është kot"
"Si the?"

"Jo zemra vllait, biskotë biskotë"

"Po po"

"Biskotë pra, biskota, kotabiskota. Pse s'i ke qejf biskotat ti? Mirë si të duash".

Një nga format më të hershme të gaslighting në fëmijëri.

We're playing hide and seek, remember our youngest brother is kotabiskota.

Whatever, PE class is completely kotabiskota.

The United Nations is totally kotabiskota, they have no real power.

Në shqip:

Do luajmë hapa-dollapa, vëllai vogël është kota-biskota!

Ec tani se kjo ora e qytetarisë është komplet kotabiskota.

Këta të SPAK-ut janë kotabiskota, sa për t'u tallur.

soft brick

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

I have a soft bricked phone. I was just going to flash the stock software on it.

nightmare brick

A smartphone. Called a nightmare brick as a reference to media consumption (usually accessed via smartphone) being connected to increased levels of anxiety and depression.

I couldn't fall asleep so I started scrolling Instagram and realized why some of my friends call it a nightmare brick.
