McGuivering 

McGuivering is the art of fixing broken objects or creating new useful objects using only things you find on the floor or in your pocket.

Any McGuiver worth his salt would never leave home without Duct Tape, WD40 and a packet of matches.

Closely linked to James Bonding.
"Hey Simon can you come and fix my fuse box?"
"Sure, just give me some bluetac and some cotton tips and I will McGuiver it for you"

"Hey Simon did you just get an electric shock?"
"Yeh but its kinda expected when you go McGuivering"

mcgyvering 

Act of creatively fixing something. Often using items for purposes they were not originally designed. As would McGyver on the American tv show, McGyver (1985-1992).
Mcgyvering is an art of fixing things or creating things you need, without having all the proper parts and tools. Usually not in the most ideal circumstances either.

Her Mcgyvering skills came in handy when the fire extinguisher trigger was broken. She used a pen cap to make it operate and was able to quell the fire in time.
