Quick-and-dirty
Quick-and-dirty is a term used in reference to anything that is an easy way to implement kludge. Its usage is popular among hackers, who use it to describe a crude solution or programming implementation that is imperfect, inelegant, or otherwise inadequate, but which solves or masks the problem at hand, and is generally faster and easier to put in place than a proper solution.
