On the real the term was jury-rig then it morphed to jerry-rig because they sound the same and people don't know what a jury is .. then it kind if took a insert common white name that starts with a J here - rig ... Then the infamous niggeri-rig
But it never meant anything bad, the term to MacGyver something means the same thing, use what you have and make it work, it's a compliment
