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: [1]. And I know I've heard it used. --Lord Voldemort 20:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
