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

If you didn't need to buy a new phone you didn't brick it. The name comes from the device becoming as useful as a brick. IE filling physical space.

There is hard and soft bricking. Soft bricking means the phone is unusable, but fixable. Hard bricking means the phone is permanently unusable.

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

Would you build a house out of a metaphorical term? It’s not literal. If a phone doesn’t boot it’s as useful as a brick until you fix it.
