Personally, I tend to use 'quick and dirty' when I really mean
'only-lightly-tested'. As in: "Here's a solution that seems to work"
rather than just "Here's a solution".

Also, a lot of scripts I write for myself are 'quick and dirty'. Mostly
they work, but I don't actually remember _how_ with all of them :)
