http://wordie.org/words/jerry-rig Comments for the word 'Jerry-rig' http://wordie.org http://wordie.org/words/jerry-rig#comments I'm always getting confused about this vs. <a href="/words/jury-rig">jury-rig</a> - Bartleby sez this is just a variant spelling, probably based on <a href="/words/jerry-build">jerry-build</a>. I thought <a href="/words/jury-rig">jury-rig</a> meant specifically fixing a <a href="/words/jury">jury</a>, not a makeshift shoddy contraption. But people seem to use the two interchangeably to mean the latter. Wed, 17 Oct 2007 00:20:43 +0000 http://wordie.org/words/jerry-rig#comments
