“‘Gambiarra” or jury-rigging or make-shift solution is the Brazilian way of solving problems. It is created quickly, without following established rules or norms, and is a living proof that when the situation is difficult, Brazilians are able to make do with what they have at hand. It is common in the Amazon, where sometimes we only have a piece of electrical wire and an old knife to fix equipment, but that’s ingenuity! But be careful, because gambiarra can also be a very poorly done temporary solution, indicating neglect.
