I always thought "jury-rig" was a nautical term that fell out of use centuries ago and has only reappeared because some people who heard the phrase "jerry-rigged" and were not familiar with the word "jerry" thought they must have said "jury". Meh, wouldn't be the first time I didn't know what I was talking about.
