cruft together

vt.

(also cruft up) To throw together something ugly but temporarily workable. Like vt. kluge up, but more pejorative. There isn't any program now to reverse all the lines of a file, but I can probably cruft one together in about 10 minutes. See hack together, hack up, kluge up, crufty.
