Power Bricked
To be suddenly and catastrophically damaged or destroyed, often in a shocking or unexpected manner. Originated from the Haggard Garage fandom, where member Austin was severely shocked by a homemade contraption put together by Orion using an original Xbox power brick to power an Xbox One, resulting in a hospital visit. Fans now use the term to describe when something dies, gets taken down, breaks or a bridge is burned, often in a humorous or ironic way.
