An extremely common term. Almost the standard for a total failure of an electronic product. Its been the term of art for about three decades.

Its actually a bit shocking to run into someone who hasn't heard it before.

But now you know. If an update makes your PC no longer able to boot it has been bricked. The old xbox 360 was "bricked" by a badly designed heat sink.
