Mangineering

The act of creating or repairing useful items employing the materials at hand. Mostly practiced by men, it is often criticized by those who aren't able to come up with solutions anywhere near as practical. Common mangineering supplies include duct tape, bailing wire, zip ties, and PVC pipe.
Sally and Tom were stranded in the middle of nowhere because their car wouldn't run. Sally stomped her feet and shouted "Girl Power!", but for some reason it still wouldn't run. Tom used his mangineering skills and fixed the problem with duct tape while Sally rolled her eyes.
