Fun Fact

The word "MacGyvered" is in the Oxford English Dictionary.

The original MacGyver series that ran from 1985 until 1992 featured a main character who could fashion pretty much whatever his heart desired with random objects. As a result, we've been using the word "MacGyvered" as an adjective meaning "adapted or improvised in an ingenious or expedient way." And in March 2019, the term was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary. It only took 34 years!
