Franken-Code

Definitions

1. Code stitched together from mismatched parts, copied fragments, and inconsistent styles until it barely holds together as a living whole. In engineering slang, Franken-code works just enough to be dangerous.

   In plain English: Code awkwardly stitched together from many mismatched pieces.

   Example: "The integration adapter was pure Franken-code, with vendor snippets, internal helpers, and emergency patches all sewn together under one misleading module name."
