"Quick and dirty" describes a fast, expedient, but often temporary or imperfect solution, method, or result that prioritizes speed over quality, precision, or long-term reliability, serving a functional purpose until a better alternative can be developed. It implies something hastily done, possibly messy, but effective for immediate needs, like a "quick-and-dirty" market analysis for a meeting.

Etymology
