At flight school we used to call it <insulting word for ethnic group> 
engineering. Best example was using foil gum wrapper to "fix" a break in the 
shielding on a spark plug wire.

Subject: Stus-List PC for "cheap"

Think about this in the context of sailboat ownership. 

At one time or another, we've all done it. Some of us still do it.  We all know 
"that guy down the pier" that's raised it to an art form. 

What?  Doing or fixing something on a sailboat "on the cheap" that does or can 
lead to less than satisfactory results. Something that may create an unsafe 
condition that may put crew or family at risk. Something that eventually will 
need to be done over the right way and end up costing more in the end. 

So......my question is "what clever, imaginative, politically correct phrase 
describes cheap?"

I'm talking about literary genius like using "deferred success" as PC to 
describe failure. 

I've considered "irresponsibly frugal", "excessively thrifty", etc. but I just 
can't seem to create that "aha" PC phrase for "cheap".
