Definitions for bogotify: Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
:
bogotify /boh-go't*-fi:/ vt. To make or become bogus. A program that
has been changed so many times as to become completely disorganized has
become bogotified. If you tighten a nut too hard and strip the threads
on the bolt, the bolt has become bogotified and you had better not use
it any more. This coinage led to the notional `autobogotiphobia' defined
as `the fear of becoming bogotified'; but is not clear that the latter
has ever been `live' jargon rather than a self-conscious joke in jargon
about jargon. See also bogosity, bogus.
