Temporary Fix
Noun Phrase · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A fix intended to hold things together for now without claiming to be the final answer. In engineering slang, temporary fixes become dangerous when everyone quietly starts treating them as permanent.
In plain English: A short-term fix that is not meant to be the final solution.
Example: "The redirect rule was a temporary fix for the broken links, but three quarters later it was still carrying production traffic."
