what you are looking for, but it's close enough for your purposes, and you
don't have the luxury to wait, so you get it.
If you "do something in a pinch", you acknowledge the way you do it is not
the ideal way, but in the interest of time or other constraint, you do it
the fastest way, not necessarily the ideal way.
The closest Chinese idioms I can think of, are 将就，凑活，权宜之计 |

发帖数: 60 | 8 somebody explains to me that this phrase means you are doing sth. in a
limiting or stringent condition
let's say, you are on a 10-day-trip, it's only the 5th day, but you have only one dollar left with you, then you will probably ask yourself, what am I going to
do/how am I going to survive in such a pinch?
