Pizzled

[Little_Girl]

Faulty, in some unspecified way.
From the PK Dick [short story] Autofac, where the word pizzled is used to confuse a robot who keeps delivering unwanted milk. Since there is nothing wrong with the milk, [the robot] will not stop delivering it, even though the humans dont want it. But when the humans say that it is pizzled, the robot is forced to fill in a compaint form which ultimately results in the downfall of the robot [factory system].
