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".
