It is a term used to describe repairs or enhancements made with any materials that are available at little or no cost. This is often done on a temporary basis, and usually without regard to appearance.
Some examples:
- repairing a rusted muffler bracket with a coat hanger.
- using Duct Tape to repair a broken alternator belt.
- using a coat hanger and aluminum foil as an antenna.
The term is probably derived from "nigg*r rigged" and can be offensive.
