Definitions by Zi Monguch

To make something work when it absolutely should not work, usually through stubbornness, creativity, frugality, and questionable but effective problem-solving.

To monguch something is to squeeze, adjust, rig, force, finesse, or somehow make it happen when most people would have already given up.
