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.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.

The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
