Get the it's all academic mug.Jury rigging refers to makeshift repairs or temporary contrivances, made with only the tools and materials that happen to be on hand. Originally a nautical term, on sailing ships a jury rig is a replacement mast and yards improvised in case of damage or loss of the original mast. Jury-rig has been in use since 1788 but the adjectival use of "jury" in the sense of makeshift or temporary dates from at least 1616, when it appeared in John Smith's A Description of New England.
A false etymology is that "Jerry-rigged" was employed by World War II British troops to refer to the German use of scavenged parts to keep vehicles and weapons functional, from the use of "Jerry" as a pejorative term for German soldiers.

The jury-rigged (not jerry-rigged) contraption made do for now. (jerry-rig - it's not accurate The actual term is jury-rig)

Get the it's good actually mug.To masturbate. Jewish people (M.O.T.s) often avoid masturbating on the that day of the week, and therefore must do it more on non-shabbat days.
Teacher: "My, Jimmy, that was a long bathroom break, were you...smoking drugs in there?"
Class: "Ooooooh, busted."
Jimmy: "Hell no bitch...but let's just say it wasn't shabbat in there." (pulls out $1 bill) "Hey, slip the janitor Mr. Washington here for the extra clean up job, will ya?"

Hym "Trying actively and publicly to make me feel paranoid about being watched is why you kids got murder just there and it's good that it happened and need to happened again to the right people. You'd think you'd get tired of the child murder but I guess he likes it and wants me to do it."
