[Probably alteration of mid-20th century American
military slang kluge,
complex device with a simple function,
perhaps of imitative origin or perhaps
after the Kluge (paper feeder),
a piece of printing equipment first manufactured
in 1919 by Brandtjen & Kluge, Inc.,
and reputedly difficult to repair.]
