band-aid medicine

Typical of modern medicine, focusing on curing symptoms rather than their cause.
Patient *has heart attack*
Doctor: We are going to have to remove your heart.
Patient: Won't I die?
Doctor: Yes but you will not have any more heart attacks.
Patient: *walks out* I don't know if I want band-aid medicine. Maybe I will just lay off the Mickey D's.

Band-Aid Fission

When the number of Band-Aids applied to an IT system over time reaches critical mass, the system achieves Band-Aid Fission and explodes, violently

<Operator> OK let me check.... Oh shit! It's happened! We've reached Band-Aid Fission
<Customer> What the hell does that mean?
<Operator> Never mind. There's fuck all we can do. Nice knowing you.

band-aid

Short-term fix or solution to a tricky situation, e.g. the iPad used to calm / quiet down crying children
Using the iPad to distract the kids during dinner was just a band-aid solution; as soon as they finished watching, the chaos returned!

a swimming pool band-aid

Something that is disgusting and should never be touched.
Hans: I was with Anna last night and things were really great and then it was all over! She acted grossed out and left!
Albert: What happened? I thought last night was going to be the party night?
Hans: Me too. I showed Heather's Vaseline to her and she looked at it like it was a swimming pool band-aid.
Albert: Well, you showed Heather's Vaseline. Anna thinks Vaseline is gross.

Baby Heather: (lisping) It was me swimming pool band-aid!! 😊👉👈
Hans: Heather, we don't mean your literal bandage in the pool.
Baby Heather: Hmm.
