A bodge is a fast and convenient, often temporary, solution. Bodges often require modification before working under a slightly different set of conditions. A good bodge improves quality of life and stays within the safety limits its creator is comfortable with, who possesses a conscious risk model and is prepared to respond to and accept backfire.

noun: bodge, bodges (plural)
adjective: bodged, bodge-like
verb: bodge, bodging, bodges, bodged
adverb: bodgedly

They bodged a chair from the stump.

While not in any normal dictionary, the word 'bodgedly' is something I've used; it itself was a logical bodge, and I'm sure I'm not the first to do so.

I love bodging with AutoHotkey too, but be careful that doesn't execute on a different window.

I couldn't get the blinds to stay down in the party bus, so I tied them to my chair. I'm a bodge master.

I don't dare look at the CSS; bodge on, my friend.
