Quick and Dirty
Adjective · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
Done rapidly and with limited polish, usually to get an answer or stop immediate pain. In engineering slang, quick and dirty is honest when temporary and dangerous when it quietly becomes permanent.
In plain English: Fast and rough, without much polish or long-term care.
Example: "They wrote a quick and dirty importer for the demo, then wisely blocked it from production instead of pretending rough prototype code was a stable foundation."
