Taking bits and pieces of old projects, putting them together and making a new project.
I have a term paper due in the morning but I didn't write a whole new paper. I just frankensteined a couple of old projects together.

Get the frankenstein mug.
A book by Mary Shelley in which a man by the surname of Frankenstein discovers a method of creating life, and in doing so creates a monster whom he then abandons. The monster's life is a living Hell from that point forward, and he eventually sets out to get revenge upon his maker. The story has symbolic references to many things, including the importance of parenting and the evils of playing God. Either way, a firmly held belief among morons is that the monster's name was Frankenstein, when in fact the monster was never named.

"Yeah, dude, well you look like you need to read up on your freaking nineteenth century literature!"

Get the Frankenstein mug.
To construct or repair an object using a number of dubious methods. In the case of a computer, this usually involves concocting a machine made out of parts from a massive number of different manufacturers, ultimately creating a nightmarish amalgamation of electronic parts. The name comes from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the titular monster of said book.
Dude, you totally frankensteined that old PC!

Get the Frankenstein mug.
A synonym for a joint pieced together out of old remnants of previous smokes found in your ashtray, the floor or anywhere else you can as they are usually smoked in more desperate times.

It doesn't always make for a pleasant taste.

It is a monster pieced together from older dead human body parts and brought back to life...
Couldn't reach my phone to call a dealer so i had to make a frankenstein instead.
