From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
kludge 1. /klooj/ n.   Incorrect (though regrettably common)    spelling of {kluge} (US).   These two words have been confused in    American usage since the early 1960s, and widely confounded in Great    Britain since the end of World War II.   2. [TMRC] A {crock} that    works. (A long-ago "Datamation" article by Jackson Granholme    similarly said: "An ill-assorted collection of poorly matching    parts, forming a distressing whole.")   3. v. To use a kludge to get    around a problem.   "I've kludged around it for now, but I'll fix it    up properly later."          This word appears to have derived from Scots `kludge' or    `kludgie' for a common toilet, via British military slang.   It    apparently became confused with U.S. {kluge} during or after World    War II; some Britons from that era use both words in definably    different ways, but {kluge} is now uncommon in Great Britain.    `Kludge' in Commonwealth hackish differs in meaning from `kluge' in    that it lacks the positive senses; a kludge is something no    Commonwealth hacker wants to be associated too closely with.   Also,    `kludge' is more widely known in British mainstream slang than    `kluge' is in the U.S.

Kaleidoscope          An {object-oriented} language which mixes       {imperative} and {constraint}-oriented features.   Kaleidoscope       was written by Freeman-Benson of the {University of       Washington}, {Universite de Nantes}, 1989; {University of       Victoria}, 1992.   It is similar to {Siri} and vaguely related       to {Prose}.          Versions: Kaleidoscope '90 and Kaleidoscope '91.          ["Kaleidoscope: Mixing Objects, Constraints and Imperative       Programming", B.N.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
kludge          /kluhj/ (From the old Scots "kludgie" meaning an       outside toilet) A Scottish engineering term for anything added       in an ad hoc (and possibly unhygenic!) manner.   At some point       during the Second World War, Scottish engineers met Americans       and the meaning, spelling and pronunciation of kludge became       confused with that of "{kluge}".          The spelling "kludge" was apparently popularised by the       "Datamation" cited below which defined it as "An ill-assorted       collection of poorly matching parts, forming a distressing       whole."          The result of this tangled history is a mess; in 1993, many       (perhaps even most) hackers pronounce the word /klooj/ but       spell it "kludge" (compare the pronunciation drift of {mung}).       Some observers consider this appropriate in view of its       meaning.          ["How to Design a Kludge", Jackson Granholme, Datamation,       February 1962, pp. 30-31].          [{Jargon File}]          (1998-12-09)
