I’d more often say jerry-rigged than jury-rigged myself, but I thought it might just be whatever part of the country you’re from. Anyway, I looked it up and learned that there is a difference. Jerry-rigged is something poorly built, while jury-rigged is something rigged temporarily in a makeshift and often ingenious manner.
