(noun) A set of steps used to compensate for or avoid dealing with a systemic problem rather than fixing it.
Typically used in regard to computers or industrial work-flow.
The term "workaround" implies that there should be a quicker, more efficient, or otherwise better way to accomplish things. But also that such improved methods are unavailable due to some circumstances beyond the control of those directly involved.

Get the workaround mug.Warsaw, NY is a small town. Its in Wyoming County that roughly has 2 times as many cows as it does people. I know makes you think of some hillbilly kida , wrong turn, kinda shit huh. All in all its a pretty quite town and a nice place to live or visit if you dont mind the system sucking scumbags.
Ex. You have two kind of people in Warsaw, NY cool down to earth people who make awesome friends and then you have the drit balls who do nothing but sit on their butts and collect unemployment and foodstamps ect. Only because they are lazy and like to suck the hell out of the system.
