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

Then it’s not a brick, it’s just turned off.

Bricked is permanently broken, will never work again, kaput, paper weighted, pet-rocked, like a brick. You can’t get a brick to POST.

The whole point of the term bricked is to denote permanence.

I believe that was the joke, sir.

You believe correct. One point for Herr Vo Gel.

Yeah like if it even partially functions as intended, it is not a brick. I once attempted flashing firmware to a motherboard, only for my power to go out midway through. Kaput, $200 down the drain, I no longer had an electronic device, I had the world's most expensive paperweight.
