What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

11b's brain is mushy from all that jazz music.

For all intensive purposes both terms mean the same thing.

Don't be such a pre-Madonna.  It's a doggy-dog world.

The difference is subtle but real.  Thar's why there are two different words.

And you felt the need to mock someone when they used the term in a perfectly reasonable way.  Yeah, real subtle there Grumbles.

Since Patrick O'Brian died I would just assume that grumbler is the world's foremost expert on rigging.

Trump of course thinks he knows all about it
But he really doesn't

Learn something new every day.  I thought it should be jury-rigged, and jerry-rigged is wrong.  Turns out both are right.

  Who did I mock (besides you and DGuller, both for saying dumb stuff)?  I think that maybe you should consider whether subtlety is beyond your comprehension.

Something that is jury-rigged is improvised out of nominally unsuitable materials, and one is proud of their jury-rigging because it couldn't be done better. I jury-rigged a flashlight out of a battery, a light bulb, and two wires.

Something that is jerry-rigged is thrown together hastily and without a lot of thought (due to time constraints, laziness, or whatever).  One isn't necessarily proud of a jerry-rigged product because it could have been done better.  Literally paying for college would be cheaper than the jerry-rigged system we have now.

The difference is subtle, but present.

You went off on Tim, who it turns out wasn't even wrong in his use of jury-rigging.

I am sure you can quote the post where I "went off on Tim," and I am sure that you can demonstrate that "jury rigged" was more accurate as he used it than "jerry-rigged."

Best thread ever. 

Especially given it was jerry-rigged.

You mean jury-rigged.

No, I meant to imply that the constituent materials were crap.

So was Meri's first marriage jerry-rigged?





Yeah, I outta be ashamed of myself.

Thanks.  I have always thought that something that is jury-rigged is unfair.

That's a jury rig.

If it turns out better than the materials would lead you to expect, it is jury-rigged.  If it turns out worse than the materials would lead you to expect, it is jerry-rigged.
