Your Definition
In technical circles, such as engineering, this word is sometimes used to describe a "solution" that mostly works but is a really horrible, inelegant design. The connotation is often intended to mean "yes, this works *today* to solve the immediate problem, but it's a lousy way to go in the long term."
