Rubber Band Fix
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A flimsy workaround that holds things together just enough for the moment, with the implication that it can snap later under pressure. It is a more fragile cousin of digital duct tape.
In plain English: A weak temporary fix that might fall apart later.
Example: "We shipped a rubber band fix to stop the leak, but the parser still needs a real rewrite."
