From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
kluge /klooj/   [from the German `klug', clever; poss.   related    to Polish `klucz' (a key, a hint, a main point)] 1. n. A Rube    Goldberg (or Heath Robinson) device, whether in hardware or    software.   2. n. A clever programming trick intended to solve a    particular nasty case in an expedient, if not clear, manner.   Often    used to repair bugs.   Often involves {ad-hockery} and verges on    being a {crock}.   3. n.   Something that works for the wrong reason.    4. vt.   To insert a kluge into a program.   "I've kluged this routine    to get around that weird bug, but there's probably a better way."    5. [WPI] n. A feature that is implemented in a {rude} manner.          Nowadays this term is often encountered in the variant spelling    `kludge'.   Reports from {old fart}s are consistent that `kluge' was    the original spelling, reported around computers as far back as the    mid-1950s and, at that time, used exclusively of _hardware_ kluges.    In 1947, the "New York Folklore Quarterly" reported a classic    shaggy-dog story `Murgatroyd the Kluge Maker' then current in the    Armed Forces, in which a `kluge' was a complex and puzzling artifact    with a trivial function.   Other sources report that `kluge' was    common Navy slang in the WWII era for any piece of electronics that    worked well on shore but consistently failed at sea.          However, there is reason to believe this slang use may be a decade    older.   Several respondents have connected it to the brand name of    a device called a "Kluge paper feeder", an adjunct to mechanical    printing presses.   Legend has it that the Kluge feeder was designed    before small, cheap electric motors and control electronics; it    relied on a fiendishly complex assortment of cams, belts, and    linkages to both power and synchronize all its operations from one    motive driveshaft.   It was accordingly temperamental, subject to    frequent breakdowns, and devilishly difficult to repair -- but oh,    so clever!   People who tell this story also aver that `Kluge' was    the name of a design engineer.          There is in fact a Brandtjen & Kluge Inc., an old family business    that manufactures printing equipment - interestingly, their name is    pronounced /kloo'gee/!   Henry Brandtjen, president of the firm, told    me (ESR, 1994) that his company was co-founded by his father and an    engineer named Kluge /kloo'gee/, who built and co-designed the    original Kluge automatic feeder in 1919.   Mr. Brandtjen claims,    however, that this was a _simple_ device (with only four cams); he    says he has no idea how the myth of its complexity took hold.          {TMRC} and the MIT hacker culture of the early '60s seems to have    developed in a milieu that remembered and still used some WWII    military slang (see also {foobar}).   It seems likely that `kluge'    came to MIT via alumni of the many military electronics projects    that had been located in Cambridge (many in MIT's venerable Building    20, in which {TMRC} is also located) during the war.          The variant `kludge' was apparently popularized by the    {Datamation} article mentioned above; it was titled "How to Design a    Kludge" (February 1962, pp. 30, 31).   This spelling was probably    imported from Great Britain, where {kludge} has an independent    history (though this fact was largely unknown to hackers on either    side of the Atlantic before a mid-1993 debate in the Usenet group    alt.folklore.computers over the First and Second Edition versions of    this entry; everybody used to think {kludge} was just a mutation of    {kluge}).   It now appears that the British, having forgotten the    etymology of their own `kludge' when `kluge' crossed the Atlantic,    repaid the U.S. by lobbing the `kludge' orthography in the other    direction and confusing their American cousins' spelling!          The result of this history is a tangle.   Many younger U.S. hackers    pronounce the word as /klooj/ but spell it, incorrectly for its    meaning and pronunciation, as `kludge'. (Phonetically, consider    huge, refuge, centrifuge, and deluge as opposed to sludge, judge,    budge, and fudge.   Whatever its failings in other areas, English    spelling is perfectly consistent about this distinction.)   British    hackers mostly learned /kluhj/ orally, use it in a restricted    negative sense and are at least consistent.   European hackers have    mostly learned the word from written American sources and tend to    pronounce it /kluhj/ but use the wider American meaning!          Some observers consider this mess appropriate in view of the word's    meaning.

A clever programming trick intended to solve       a particular nasty case in an expedient, if not clear, manner.       Often used to repair bugs.   Often involves {ad-hockery} and       verges on being a {crock}.   In fact, the TMRC Dictionary       defined "kludge" as "a crock that works".          3. Something that works for the wrong reason.          4. ({WPI}) A {feature} that is implemented in a {rude} manner.          In 1947, the "New York Folklore Quarterly" reported a classic       shaggy-dog story "Murgatroyd the Kluge Maker" then current in       the Armed Forces, in which a "kluge" was a complex and       puzzling artifact with a trivial function.   Other sources       report that "kluge" was common Navy slang in the WWII era for       any piece of electronics that worked well on shore but       consistently failed at sea.          However, there is reason to believe this slang use may be a       decade older.   Several respondents have connected it to the       brand name of a device called a "Kluge paper feeder" dating       back at least to 1935, an adjunct to mechanical printing       presses.   The Kluge feeder was designed before small, cheap       electric motors and control electronics; it relied on a       fiendishly complex assortment of cams, belts, and linkages to       both power and synchronise all its operations from one motive       driveshaft.   It was accordingly tempermental, subject to       frequent breakdowns, and devilishly difficult to repair - but       oh, so clever!   One traditional folk etymology of "klugen"       makes it the name of a design engineer; in fact, "Kluge" is a       surname in German, and the designer of the Kluge feeder may       well have been the man behind this myth.          {TMRC} and the MIT hacker culture of the early 1960s seems to       have developed in a milieu that remembered and still used some       WWII military slang (see also {foobar}).   It seems likely that       "kluge" came to MIT via alumni of the many military       electronics projects run in Cambridge during the war (many in       MIT's venerable Building 20, which housed {TMRC} until the       building was demolished in 1999).          [{Jargon File}]          (2002-10-02)
