jiggery-pokery
This is not to discount the other meanings, but here's one that's been overlooked, it seems:
Noun:
1) The act of fixing or building something by tinkering, prodding, poking, and twiddling it until it looks the way it should or does what it ought to do. The act of solving a problem in a very make-shift, seat-of-the-pants way rather than proceeding with any sort of plan or forethought. Jiggery-pokery is all about "Good enough"
2) A very informal, vague process for doing a thing - there's no step-by-step thing you do to get the result you want, you just apply the jiggery-pokery until it starts making the noise and doing the thing
Possibly, this comes from literally "jiggering" (jiggling) and "pokering" (poking) a thing until it comes together or starts to work or both.

Nutshot
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
