  1. 1. To use the seemingly useless trinkets and objects in your close vicinity together to accomplish an otherwise impossible task. > So I took my shoelaces, tied them together, lassoed the gas petal (with a paperclip), slid a wrench down it (to change the direction of force), threaded it through the steering wheel, and attached it to the door handle, so when I opened the car door and jumped out, the force from opening the door would cause the car to let on the gas and drive towards the men with the bazookas, letting me escape.” Source: ecdict
