Q: 

Other forms of "kluge"?

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/kluge

Who knew that the word "kluge" had its roots in computer software/hardware? Ok, so... what are the other forms of this word, and how do you spell them?

Specifically, how do I spell this usage:

"My solution is klugier than yours."

Or is that, simply, poor form? Is it better to say "more klugy"?

+3  A: 

From the Jargon File!

+1 for the official source for this sort of thing. But please use the official URL: http://catb.org/jargon/html/K/kluge.html

This doesn't give me other forms of the word's use, though. Great find, though. Thank you.

A: 

This isn't programming related and if allowed to stay open should be a wiki...

And this is not an answer and instead belongs as a comment.

Agreed, but strictly speaking, your response should be a comment rather than an answer.
