jerry-buildern.

Brit.

/ˈdʒɛrɪˌbɪldə/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɛriˌbɪldər/

Etymology: Origin not ascertained. That jerry-builder and jerry-built originated in some way from the name Jerry is probable; but the statement made in a letter to the newspapers in Jan. 1884, that they commemorate the name of a building firm on the Mersey, has on investigation not been confirmed. The earliest example yet found is that of jerry-built1869.

A speculating builder who ‘runs up’ unsubstantially built houses of inferior materials.
