duct tape fix
Temporary adhesive solution
A duct tape fix is a quick, improvised repair that works well enough without being elegant or permanent.
From the versatile adhesive tape used to patch everything from car bumpers to torn clothing, the phrase extends to any makeshift solution: The workaround isn't pretty, but it's a solid duct tape fix until we can rewrite the code.
