K l u g e and k l u d g e, and WordWeb found the second one with the D in it. For origin, the page I'm on says: 1960-65; expressive coinage This page is interesting, because it not only talks about this word in our discussion but mentions other interesting words also. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kludge Debby At 02:07 PM 10/5/2011, Roger Loran Bailey wrote

I've been on Google and it doesn't seem to come up. Maybe one of you computer geeks can enlighten us as to spelling?As for definition, a kluge or kluge is a solution to a programming task that is clumsy or put together badly. It's like putting your car engine together with chewing gum and bailing wire.
