Screwithity

The quality of being amenable to ad-hoc adjustments, "number 8 wire" fixes, or clever field modifications. It describes a system, machine, or concept that is designed (or accidentally built) to be easily "mucked about with" using only available tools and intuition. It is the art of the functional workaround.

While Screwithity covers practical, ingenious fixes to keep things running, it serves as the entry point to high-level Fuckwithity, where systems are completely re-engineered for unintended purposes.

The beauty of a 90s tractor is its screwithity—if a sensor fails in the back paddock, you can usually bypass it with a paperclip to get the job done; however, if you want to bypass the governor and remote-control the throttle from your phone, you're stepping into the realm of pure fuckwithity.
