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.
Yeah, bricking something makes it completely unusable anymore: ie. turned into nothing more than a brick. If you can access it and restore functionality then it wasn't bricked.
