i had a similar convo with my old man a couple years back.
<after using some zip ties and electrical tape to fix some bad wiring in their backup generator>
"welp, we jury-rigged that one"
"dad, that doesn't mean anything."
"what?"
"'jury rigging' means to influence the outcome of some event so judgment falls in your favor. i think you meant to say something else."
" ... well, you get mad when i say 'n*gger-rigging'."
"yup, i'm mad."
