MacGyvery

The art of making or repairing an object with items not intended for such purpose, in a foolish or unsafe manner. An equal blending of the arts of Macgyverism and tomfoolery.

macgyvered

To use the seemingly useless trinkets and objects in your close vicinity together to accomplish an otherwise impossible task.
So I took my shoelaces, tied them together, lassoed the gas petal (with a paperclip), slid a wrench down it (to change the direction of force), threaded it through the steering wheel, and attached it to the door handle, so when I opened the car door and jumped out, the force from opening the door would cause the car to let on the gas and drive towards the men with the bazookas, letting me escape.”

Macgyver Shit

After taking a mean shit, an act of desperation, usually by the lazy, using a piece of clothing (your roommate's socks, a t-shirt, a bath towel etc.) to wipe your dirty ass after realizing you have absolutely no paper products whatsoever in your house.
Roommate Kevin : "Dude, where are all my socks & towels? I had a ton!"

Fat Jack: "Man, I gotta confession to make. I've been too lazy to buy TP, so I've been wiping my ass clean with your socks & towels & then throwing them away."

Roommate Kevin: "Please tell me you're fucking joking, you lazy fat fuck! Why don't you use your own socks when you Macgyver Shit?!"
