Zynga
Something so totally beyond repair after being altered, adjusted, fiddled with, meddled with and generally mucked about with is totally "Zynga'd".
Any attempt to make it better (and there has to be many in order to deserve this definition) only makes things worse and therefore enhances the definition of being "Zynga'd".

There was once a game on FaceBook which was exceptional. The game was great, the Group Forum associated with the game was friendly and amusing and everyone helped each other along with tips and game play strategies (well they had to, the company in charge of the game had nothing to do with it). The happy people of this Group Forum thought up new ways to enhance their game playing and all was going well until the weekend of the "Valentine's Day Massacre" event. The day before the event was to begin, the game itself was altered beyond recognition.
All attempts to make the game playable to the standard of the previous game were unsuccessful and led to further "Zynga-ups" in the game. Further attempts to improve the game to make it unexploitable have proven to be unmitigated failures and the developers of the game prove themselves to be inept, incompetent and inadequate to the tasks put to them.
Tha game is an application made by a company called Zynga - hence the definition.
Quote: "I didn't say it was broken, to be broken would imply that it can be repaired, it's not, it's zynga'd."

Zynga
The most hated company in the world according to hardcore gamers.
The company responsible for Farmville, Mafia Wars, Words with Friends, and a couple dozen knockoffs of more successful games. They make casual games on Facebook and cell phones centered around minimal skill, arbitrary wait times, excessive monetization, a flood of automated referrals spamming everybody's wall with requests to be somebody's neighbor, and their admitted use of scams and spyware.
Despite their games only being about as much fun as your screensaver at work and taking less effort to make than the average "10,000 Games on 1 CD!" shovelware, they tapped into the Pavlovian center of grandmothers the world over to the tune of billions of dollars in revenue and a nearly 20 billion dollar initial stock offering in 2011. They have since gone on a truly disastrous meltdown, with mass layoffs, executives bailing, their stock plummeting, insider trading and fraud accusations, and Electronic Arts suing them over plagiarism. Time will tell if they get buried like they deserve.

Zyngamaster
Derogatory term in poker for people whose entire knowledge of Texas Hold-em consists of watching Poker Night on TV, playing Zynga Texas Hold-Em application on facebook( hence the name) or any other form of poker that doesn't involve real money. They are usually found in 1$ buy in tournaments, or low stakes games online. Usual symptoms of a Zyngamaster are attempting outrageous bluffs, paying massive sums just to see the river card and continuation betting for the sake of it.
A: I won 200$ in a Partypoker tournament yesterday.
B: Wow, how did that happen?
A: I got lucky and had a table with 4 Zyngamasters so I got loaded with enough chips to last me to final table.
B: Scrubs never learn...

Zyngar™
Zyngar™, noun, is a de facto trademark of Zynga, Inc.
Zynga is a Web 2.0-based social network game developer that owns browser-based games that work both stand-alone and as application widgets on social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace. Mafia Wars, Texas Hold'em Poker, Cafe World and Frontierville are among their most popular properties, with tens of millions of players in each one. Zynga has learned that, more often than not, they can get away with stealing from their entire customer base, using Zyngars™.

Zynga has learned that, more often than not, they can get away with stealing from their entire customer base, using Zyngars™.
A classic example of a Zyngar™ is in Mafia Wars. If you have adequate Reward Points while working the Robbing Board (which may require thousands of individual clicks), a random pop up appears, precisely where your mouse cursor is, and automatically spends some of those RPs, which you paid for with cash. you do not even have to click on purchase, a mosueover will spend your money, without so much as a confirmation button, which Zynga refuses to provide.
In Texas Hold'em Poker, the Zyngar™ is that they "sting" you with popups every time you win a hand, and the application freezes, every single time, forcing you to lose the hand and possibly getting bumped off the table. It actually turns out that, winning a hand is the Worst Thing that can happen in Texas Hold'em Poker.
