what are quick and dirty tips?
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/default.aspx
The website is named "Quich and Dirty Tips". I'm so puzzled by the word "Dirty" coz they are aiming to offer fun, friendly, practical advice to help do things better.
I cann't find a proper entry of "Dirty" in my dictionaries.

Hello again Halbert
This is a phrase.
Don't split it up into individual words it will not make sense.
"quick and dirty tips" = shortcuts (plural)
Memorise the phrase if you like but it is unlikely you will ever use it in day-to-day conversation.

If you want to repair a piece of machinery, or alter a computer program, sometimes there isn't time to do it properly. You can talk about a "quick and dirty" solution which solves the immediate problem, but is not a good quality piece of work.

"quick and dirty" doesn't necessarity mean it is of poor quality piece
like in programming (i hope you have some idea of coding), a "dirty" program may not have good indentations or use good variables (like using x= or y= instead of total_people= or counter1=) which makes it hard to read or modify. But the program will still run smoothly with no problem.
