在维基百科中是这样介绍quick-and-dirty的：
Quick-and-dirty is a term used in reference to anything that is an easy way to implement a kludge. Its usage is popular among programmers, who use it to describe a crude solution or programming implementation that is imperfect, inelegant, or otherwise inadequate, but which solves or masks the problem at hand, and is generally faster and easier to put in place than a proper solution.
Quick-and-dirty solutions often attend to a specific instance of a problem rather than fixing the cause of the more general problem. As such, they are sometimes used to keep an item of software or hardware working temporarily until a proper fix can be made.
The phrase is also frequently used in describing any document or tutorial that gives a brief overview about how to do something, without going into too much detail about why or how it works.
Microsoft's first operating system, MS-DOS, was originally called Quick and Dirty Operating System (QDOS)[1], prior to its purchase from Seattle Computer Products.
通过上面介绍的介绍，我们可以理解出来，quick-and-dirty就是指一种快速但是存在一些瑕疵并不完善的解决方法，这种方法快速而且容易建立，但是会隐藏一些问题，不过很多程序员还是很喜欢这类的小产品（或者软件）的。例如css和javascript压缩。
