Morphology
borky + design
Although the structure adjective + noun is normally compositional, the adjective 'borky' is slang/neologistic and lacks a clear dictionary meaning here. A B1 learner who only knows the literal constituents cannot reliably infer that 'borky design' means 'confusing or malfunctioning design' because the critical adjective is unpredictable and language-specific.
Etymology
Borky design may come from the slang word 'borked', a playful way to say something is broken. If a website or app keeps crashing or acts strangely, people call it a borky design, which is why the phrase means 'confusing' or 'unreliable' design.
