bekakte refers to inauthenticity, pretentiousness, pretending,
alienation (and neurosis, if you want).
In my family, verkakte (as I usually see it spelt and pronounced) means
none of those things, but simply "screwed up" or simply "screwy," as:
"I can't get this verkakte computer to do what I want!" The computer is
not necessarily of low quality, much less inauthentic or pretentious,
but merely user-unfriendly.
Synonym: fershimmelt.
Slightly different: ferblunget (with soft g), which unlike the others
implies "broken through inexpert handling."
