An idiotic form of ad hoc, where someone appears to work unproactively without any plan in place, instead, working on a reactive basis which requires very minimal effort and work.
Person A: "Their approach appears to be very id hoc"
Person B: "Don't you mean ad hoc?"
Person A: "No, I mean id hoc = idiotic ad hoc"
Person B: "Don't you mean ad hoc?"
Person A: "No, I mean id hoc = idiotic ad hoc"
