An Information Technology (IT) term synonymous with "fubar", "blown up", "crashed", "shat itself", "bombed out", etc, referring to the failure of an IT hardware or software component. Generally used as a polite and non-alarming way of informing the customer that the system is, in fact, hosed. Due the negative nature of most IT disasters and the associated negative terminology thereof, many customers may like their minds put at ease through the use of "nicer" terminology. EXAMPLES:
