EDIT: Added soft- to the title, since it was pissing people off. Maybe I’m still wrong. Idk, it’s just a meme.

    would you build a house out of soft bricks? no… they don’t exist.
    bricking is permanently fucking it up. as useful as a phone as a brick. aka a paper weight

      The term exists, and has been used in rooting circles since at least 2012 that I know of, since that was when I rooted my first device and ran across the term.

      While it certainly doesn’t make much sense as a term, that’s different from the term not existing.
