"This vacuum doesn't suck!! Here's the problem! There's a hole in the hose. Instead of returning it, I'll just lemon-rig it with duct tape."
"That's a brand new car!! Are you seriously going to lemon-rig it with red fingernail polish instead of sending it back for a paint job?"
"...But I just bought these chairs and they are scratching up my floors! The end caps are cheap! The metal is poking through! I don't want to waste time sending them back; besides, I love these chairs and we have a party in two days! I'll go to the hardware store and buy some decent end caps. Why waste time when I can just lemon-rig it?"

Tommy: How in the world is your computer still working?
Jim: I Grim rigged it.
Tommy: How?
Jim: I've got the power cord from the old desktop going from the wall to the strip and the power strip apart to use prongs into a usb back to the original power cord. That other wire you see there is the screen, it projects into this little lazer thingy from my tv remote and that goes into the tv. Then i've got the keyboard from your old computer here. I've still got the original mouse, but it's duct taped together.
