Rickety Split 

(Catchphrase)

Definition: Prioritizing speed, and/or cost efficiency rather than quality or safety in a given job or task.

Repair Tech: You got it! I'll get it done for you RICKETY SPLIT!
Client: ...You mean "lickety split"?
Repair Tech: Nuh-uh, I mean "RICKETY".
You asked for THESE specs, with THIS time-frame, & THIS budget? ...We can do it for you, sure; But you're gonna get a QUICK JOB not a GOOD JOB.
"They needed it done fast and cheap with no fuss, so we made it happen Rickety Split!"
