paper clip fix
Improvised binding solution
A paper clip fix is a makeshift repair using whatever's at hand—named for the humble office supply repurposed to hold things together.
The term suggests ingenuity born of necessity rather than proper tools or parts: The mechanic's paper clip fix got us home, but we'll need a real repair.
Often implies the solution is temporary or barely adequate.
