Tech and internet slang for something that is broken, buggy, or behaving in an unpredictable and annoying way. A softer, more affectionate version of 'broken' — when something is borky, it's not catastrophically dead, it's just acting up in that irritating but vaguely endearing way software tends to. Common in developer Slack channels, gaming communities, and Discord servers where calling something 'broken' feels too formal and 'busted' feels too harsh. The playful '-ky' suffix gives it a cartoon quality.
