Broke but somehow if not miraculously still working.
Derived from the term Gerry-rigged, which originated in WW2. During the allied advanced to Germany they were amazed at how Germans Panzers and commandeered Russian T-34s being in such a broke down state still ran and the ingenious methods and ad-hoc meterials the Germans would use to keep the tanks running.

There are many different meanings to the word. It can mean something is tacky, or someone is trashy, or something isn't working the way it should, or someone/something smells nasty.
