Hi again everyone!
Wikipedia says:
The word 'kludge' is...derived from the German adjective klug
, originally meaning 'smart' or 'witty'.... 'Kludge' eventually came to
mean 'not
so smart'.
The German surname
Kluge
derives from
klug
"prudent; smart". Although the OED2
notes Granholm was "jocular", it accepts his ironic etymology from a
fictional "Fink
and Wiggles" for
Funk & Wagnalls
lexicographer.

about nice things is meaningless; it is like chasing the
wind.--Ecclesiastes 6:9 NLT
