Half-assed epiphany

half-assed
PRONUNCIATION : hfst, häfäst
ADJECTIVE : Vulgar Slang 1. Not well planned or executed. 2. Incompetent.

So…
We're discussing how a few of the older, stand alone, applications need work.
It's mentioned that things were implemented by our predecessors "half-assed" and they'll probably just have someone half-ass them again, instead of doing it right, to save some money.

Now, let’s get metaphysical.

If you half-ass something twice, do the two half-assed jobs add up to a complete, no longer
half-assed solution?
Or is it now a completely and totally assed-up?

Just wanted to throw that out there...
