The southerners say jury rigged.

I've never heard 'jury' rigged until I read this thread.

It seems all immigrants go through a hazing process in this country. I notice no one tells Polish jokes anymore...

I'm someone says it to me I don't know if they will be able to tell me the history of it while I'm hitting them. I can't stand that word.

Jerry and Jury I have heard before. I never had a clue where they came from but I have heard of them. I don't use them myself.

I've always said "Jerry Rigged" if using the term at all... usually I just say "Cobbled together"
