 * I've used it that way, colloquially. Not finding any print citations though.  --Connel MacKenzie T C 19:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Mmm. I have used it too, but I think it is now rather dated. Perhaps mark it as slang and dated? Andrew massyn
 * Definitely remember this use of the term. Might be dated, but I've heard persistant rumors of an impending MacGyver movie... bd2412 T 04:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

It's used in this context in the dialog of the first episode of Stargate SG-1 (taken from Wikiquote: Samantha Carter states "It took us 15 years and 3 supercomputers to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth.") fwiw - Versageek 15:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, some people definitely use it:. And I know I've heard it used. --Lord Voldemort 20:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
