        Adj: Something that has been made/put together in a non-conventional way, but can expand past the bounds of Jerry-Rig For example, one would not use Jerry-rig when describing the quality of their food.

        Something that has been put together at such a low cost, it doesn't turn out like the original directions.

        Something that is not quite right and low quality.

        Commonly used in replacement of Jerry-rig or sketchy
