| 词汇 | bork |
| 词源 | bork. Hardly a year after conservative judge Robert H. Bork’s nomination to the Supreme Court was defeated in 1989 the verb to bork, to attack someone’s nomination in an extreme media campaign, was being used to describe such actions against other nominees and candidates, conservative or liberal. Only time can tell if the word will fade from common usage and become a historical relic. |
