Why the hell would you want to work in your car? I get in my car to get awy from the idiots at the office I dont want emails from them. Unless he is planning world war 3 I doubt he needs all that, but what the hell so people are work junkies.

Jury- rigged and Jerry- rigged are both acceptable, actually.

Is this serious? This is an honest question, because I always heard the phrase "Jerry-rigged" referred to the various ways soldiers would use the empty fuel cans (Jerry cans) in WW1 or 2. With just some tin snips they would make all sorts of metal contraptions to make life in a military camp better. Whereas "Jury rigging" is when a member of the jury in a court case gets compromised, or otherwise influenced to vote in a predetermined manner?

If only some group of his peers could decide whether any grammatical or spelling laws were broken and deserve punishment.

..."jury riggged"...

Ha ha! Subby misspelled "rigged".

Depending on what he does for a living (he could be self employed or a road warrior), a mobile office like this could be viable. Not while driving, of course. But if you spend a significant part of your time driving from client to client, going back to the office to get paper work done is not viable.

Personally, I would just use coffee shops, but this seems viable as well.

Actually, I was wrong: Link

There is a British term "jerry-built", which implies shoddy workmanship. The "jury" in "jury-rig" is an old nautical term and has nothing to do with legal proceedings.

A 62 mph zone? Couldn't just leave it in KPH... Maybe that would confuse Americans though.

Jerry-rigged?



Das ist rassistisch!

Kinda like "hone" and "home" as in "in".

/and some say this generation isn't completely dependent on technology

Jury- rigged and Jerry- rigged are both acceptable, actually.

Guess I was thinking of this:

Jury rigging refers to makeshift repairs or temporary contrivances, made with only the tools and materials that happen to be on hand. Originally a nautical term, on sailing ships a jury rig is a replacement mast and yards improvised in case of damage or loss of the original mast.

The phrase "jerry-built" has a separate origin and implies shoddy workmanship not necessarily of a temporary nature.

Jury rigged and jerry rigged mean the same thing, but jury rigged was here first. [source]

And if it was built by someone with a small school, liberal arts education, it was drury rigged

Nice. Now let the REAL pointing and laughing begin!

Mods/admins... please don't fix this petard, it is in use hoisting its owner.

I know cops in America have a setup that looks a hell of a lot like this in their squad cars. Is this the case in Deutschland?

So, I will toss this into the mix...

I have heard two origin stories for this tape. While duct seems the more obvious answer, duct tape is not very good on ducts. It is good, however, for waterproofing. One story is that it was used to waterproof ammo containers during WW2, where the end result was described as 'water off a ducks back'.

"Jury rigging" has nothing to do with court cases. It's from a sailing term, using a different sense of the word "jury" (meaning makeshift) and a different sense of the word "rigging" (meaning the system of ropes that support the mast).

Stile4aly: Would it be insensitive to refer to an improvised setup in Germany as being "jerry-rigged?"

That's what I always thought it meant. And I'm of German descent.

"Jury rigged" is the correct spelling."Jerry rigged" is something idiots came up with after the fact that also became acceptable.
