kludge[klüj] (computer science) A poorly designed data-processing system composed of ill-fitting mismatched components. kludge (jargon)/kluhj/ (From the old Scots "kludgie" meaning anoutside toilet) A Scottish engineering term for anything addedin an ad hoc (and possibly unhygenic!) manner. At some pointduring the Second World War, Scottish engineers met Americansand the meaning, spelling and pronunciation of kludge becameconfused with that of "kluge".
The spelling "kludge" was apparently popularised by the"Datamation" cited below which defined it as "An ill-assortedcollection of poorly matching parts, forming a distressingwhole."
The result of this tangled history is a mess; in 1993, many(perhaps even most) hackers pronounce the word /klooj/ butspell it "kludge" (compare the pronunciation drift of mung).Some observers consider this appropriate in view of itsmeaning.
