> a toilet (the actual original meaning of "kludge")

That's not "kludge", that's "cludgie", with two syllables,
and with a well-known linguistic origin, even if no-one is
quite sure of the long-term etymology:

http://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_slang

It may or may not be related to "kluge"/"kludge".
