"Gambiarra" is a Brazilian Portuguese word that it's hard to explain, because it's a way of thinking embodied into things, as a way of overcome problems without care about the elegance of the solution; at the same time, with a lot of creativity.

There is an alternative to a Object Oriented Programming (POO in portuguese - Programação Orientada a Objetos) which is POG - Programação Orientada a Gambiarra.

That's more like my way of programming.
