Frankenbolt (verb):
To assemble two or more completely dissimilar and poorly integrated components in to one unit, as in the patchwork manner of Frankenstein’s Monster.
Examples
- “Reporting was an afterthought. The developers obviously licensed a third-party component and simply Frankenbolted it in place at the last minute.”
- “Every application should stick to its core mission. Without a core mission, scope creep always results in an application with modules Frankenbolted all over it, like some bizarre freak-show attraction.”
