#What does mac have for word manual#
To fix something without benefit of tools or a manual is called "to MacGyver a solution," after the television show in which Richard Dean Anderson disarmed nuclear bombs with paper clips. Early evidence of the verb MacGyver goes back to the 1990s, but it was likely used colloquially in the late 1980s. Eventually, people began associating his name with making quick fixes or finding innovative solutions to immediate problems. Regular viewers of the show were drawn to MacGyver's ingenious thinking and improvised methods and contraptions. He always has his Swiss Army knife and some duct tape on hand, too-just in case. The eponymous protagonist, whose first name is Angus, is a secret agent (played by mullet-haired American actor Richard Dean Anderson in the original version) who uses his ingenuity and encyclopedic knowledge of science to get himself out of predicaments and to defeat the "bad guys." Episode after episode, MacGyver uses whatever items are available to him-often simple ones, such as a paperclip, chewing gum, or a rubber band-to improvise a way to escape a sticky situation or to make a device to help him complete his mission. It was subsequently syndicated for a time and even adapted into a movie, followed by a television series reboot in 2016.
MacGyver (pronounced \muh-GHYE-ver\) is the name of an action-packed television show that ran from 1985 to 1992. MacGyver is a verb meaning "to make, form, or repair (something) with what is conveniently on hand." Where did MacGyver come from?
