Hi Roger and everyone!
There are two spellings of this word. K l u g e and k l u d g e, and
WordWeb found the second one with the D in it.
For origin, the page I'm on says:
1960?65; expressive coinage
This page is interesting, because it not only talks about this word in our
discussion but mentions other interesting words also.

Hi all,
Not sure how to spell it. I've been on Google and it doesn't seem to
come up. Maybe one of you computer geeks can enlighten us as to spelling?
As for definition, a kluge or kluge is a solution to a programming task
that is clumsy or put together badly. It's like putting your car engine
together with chewing gum and bailing wire. It's malarkiface, something
foolish or amusingly stupid made by man, a combination of malarky and artifice.
