jargon, programming Describes a
crock put together under
time or user pressure. Used especially when you want to
convey that you think the fast way might lead to trouble
further down the road. "I can have a quick-and-dirty fix in
place tonight, but I'll have to rewrite the whole module to
solve the underlying design problem."
