- More significantly, rigid deference to [Justin] Bieber’s still-young core fan base keeps things resolutely PG, with any acknowledgement of sex either couched in vague “touch your body” workarounds or downgraded to desirous hand-holding and eye-gazing.
- (computing) A procedure or a temporary fix that bypasses a problem and allows a user to continue working until a better solution can be provided.
- (project management) An impromptu and temporary response to an unforeseen problem or risk.
