i macgyvered the fuck out of it

Inspired by Matt Damon's line in the movie The Martian where he has to "science to shit out of it" to survive. Technically and more accurately he MacGyvered the fuck out of it.

When you have fixed something without the right parts or equipment be proud to say "I macgyvered the fuck out of it!"

Macguyver's Stepchild

An extremely clever individual with very little formal education. Someone kind of like Will Hunting, except more badass.

A child is scolded for coloring outside of the lines. Instead of attempting to color within them, they propose an argument that questions whether or not the lines even exist. This is "Macguyver's Stepchild"

MacGyve-Off

A contest in which two or more people try to solve the same problem or achieve the same goal with what they have readily available to them. Also known as a MacGyver Face-Off.

Jon and I both tried to find our own ways to fix his broken engine without an Auto-Repair shop in sight, but his Paper Clip/Rubber Band combo won our MacGyve-Off.

McGyvery

The art of making or repairing objects with other items obviously not intended for its purpose in a foolish and unsafe manner. A natural combination Mcgyverism and tomfoolery.

I will attempt to rescue a heavily used '98 Chevy Blazer from the depths of Panamanian auto repair McGyvery into a reliable, worthy 4X4.

Sex Magyver

A sex macgyer will use anything and everything at their disposal, too achieve the desired effect, eg rope swings, with occy straps and zip ties

"Look at that, he's tied her up with an extension cord!"

"Damn that's a sex Magyver right there"
