Emergency Fix
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A fast change made under urgent conditions to stop or reduce damage from a live problem. In engineering slang, emergency fixes are necessary sometimes, but nobody should confuse them with thoughtful long-term solutions.
In plain English: A quick urgent fix made during a serious problem.
Example: "The emergency fix stopped data loss, and only then did the team have enough breathing room to design the safer durable correction."
