Saturday-night special
n. [from police slang for a cheap handgun] A quick-and-dirty program or
feature kluged together during off hours, under a deadline, and in response
to pressure from a salescritter. Such hacks are dangerously unreliable, but
all too often sneak into a production release after insufficient review.
