A quick fix is a temporary solution to a problem that provides an immediate, albeit short-term, resolution. It's often used as a way to address issues quickly without having to go through a more thorough and time-consuming process. The term can also refer to something that promises easy results with little effort or investment required. However, quick fixes are typically not the best long-term solution because they don’t address the underlying causes of problems, and may even create new issues in the future.
