This is fun with terminology. The term is used to get a point of apocalyptic emphasis across, scare grandma, and yet do away with the long winded saying, "Put my ham and cheese sandwich in the microwave oven." A simple "Nuke this!" will do. Guaranteed is that no one will misinterpret this abbreviated sentence and turn on the oven gas burner. Of course, grandma may feel the urge to bean her grandson over the head with a metal hot plate! It seems that many a World War II "Flame Thrower' veteran may have used a similar meaning word with "grandma" during the Cuban Missile Crisis in the sixties!

Files that appear on p2p networks that have something wrong with them. For example:
-A film can be nuked for various reasons. Individual sites will nuke for breaking their rules (such as "No Telesyncs" but if the film has something extremely wrong with it (no soundtrack for 20mins, CD2 is incorrect film/game etc) then a global nuke will occur, and people trading it across sites will lose their credits. Nuked films can still reach other sources such as p2p/usenet, but its a good idea to check why it was nuked first in case. If a group realise there is something wrong, they can request a nuke.
NUKE REASONS :: this is a list of common reasons a film can be nuked for (generally DVDRip)
** BAD A/R ** :: bad aspect ratio, ie people appear too fat/thin
** BAD IVTC ** :: bad inverse telecine. process of converting framerates was incorrect.
** INTERLACED ** :: black lines on movement as the field order is incorrect.
Any file can be nuked, though; not just films. Another example is a PC ISO where it hasn't been properly isoed or there is some other technical issue that should not appear with a fully functional copy.
Basically, a nuked release doesn't work as a regular release should.

Slang for a nuclear/thermonuclear device, usually classified as an ICBM, MRBM or tactical nuclear bomb (tac-nuke). Currently, it is the most powerful weapon available to mankind, creating either the fission (breaking of) or fusion (fusing together) of atoms. Nukes can release a blast more powerful than one million tons of TNT

Giving or recieving directions by mathmatical vectors. Someone says you are nuking it.
When applying postage to news letters you send one to yourself... but do not apply an address label in the hopes that the postman will return it to you marked undeliverable. You totally are "nuking" the task
Finding the fastest travel between point A and point B by internet, except you can see point B from where you are standing (point A). It takes 15 minutes to find a direct route by internet. Dude, you totally are "nuking it".
