mr. kludt 

A nerdy science teacher, about 70. Rocks a curl and a pitchers mound. Never checks his students work and never takes his eyes off his computer screen. Frankly doesn’t care about his kids education. Cranky and socially isolated.

He’s such a Mr. Kludt.

kludge 

Not a necessarily a quick fix - but a unique, cheap approach to a sudden engineering disaster that arises; It's not pretty.

Also the only word of this variety to avoid being a disparaging remark about a group of people.

Engineer 1: "look I fixed it!"

Engineer 1: "Turns out that a single matchbook cover can hold this entire 3 ton mechanism stable."

Engineer 2: "thats's a total kludge."

kludge 

Bad code that works but is barely readable, overly complex and unmaintainable.

This code is a total kludge!
