Something improperly fixed, often mechanical or electronic. It is a derogatory term derived from "jerry-rigged" which came into use from the confusion of "jury-rigged," a nautical term for a makeshift replacement of rig that has been damaged or lost overboard, and "Gerry-built," which referred to the low quality of German manufactures in the latter part of the 19th century. Also known euphemistically as "Afro-Engineering" or "Colored Engineering"
To build or fashion something in such a way that it works well enough, but is lacking in nice touches of desgin, or complex function. Usually built or rigged rather quickly with whatever materials and tools are at hand. Sometimes built or rigged without the intention that it last for a long time. Built to serve the needs of the moment. Built using common sense, rather than detailed instructions or diagrams. Often as a result of a very limited budget.
A term not now approved for use in polite society. If not, would you then say "N-word-rigged"? A close and acceptable synonym might be "jury-rigged".
(v) To construct something poorly, to do something hal-assed, to jerry-rig something but do it sloppily. This word comes from the construction industry.
It was getting dark and cold so I nigger rigged the furnace to warm us up but I would make a service call before that thng blows up
a word that was accumulated whenever an african american was decided lazy and decided instead of constructing a way of to fix somthing then they would rather poorly rig it together
When something is fixed in a rally half-assed manner, either because you don't have access to the tools to do the job right or because you're just plain lazy. Not really a racist term, but still something you probably don't want to say in front of a group of black people.
