Sorry man, just kinda looked like the Google Definition.

So Frag=grenade, and it doesn't really mean 'just stopped working'.

SSEi95 fragged his trans. It blew gears out through the case. I fragged my output shaft on the right side, but it stayed in the case.

Bill'* right.... however.... kills are known as "frags" in Doom, so a frag could also been known as a "kill" or "dead" transmission. .... it'* basically one that is dead.

"I see fragged people"

My engine Fragged my tranny. Threw a rod right through it. True definition of "Fragged"

The Doom definition is just "That'* a cool sounding word that means killed"

And I'm a vet, too. I actually got to Frag some stuff, in training, and in combat.

AND, as far as I've seen on this club, I'm the only owner of an M-3800-N/A Fragmentation Engine...
