I love when pop culture words like “MacGyver” (verb: /məˈɡaɪ.vɚ/) enter the dictionary.
Examples:
✅ “The printer was broken, so I MacGyvered a fix with a paper clip and some tape.”
✅ “She MacGyvered a tent out of bedsheets and string for the kids.”
✅ “We had no tools, but he MacGyvered a charger using old wires.”
It’s such a useful verb for everyday English—shows creativity and resourcefulness! Perfect for teaching phrasal verbs or descriptive storytelling.
