It's a mixture of a Scottish word for "loo" and the name of a Dutch-American engineering firm. See http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/kludge.html and http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/kluge.html -- I am expressing my opinion. When my John Cowan honorable and gallant friend is called, jcowan@reutershealth.com he will express his opinion. This is http://www.ccil.org/~cowan the process which we call Debate. --Winston Churchill
