Do something hurriedly - which expressions can I use (of these, too)?
Hi Everyone,
What verb or phrase do you use when you’d like to express that someone does something hastily, hurriedly, and quickly (which often entails that the result is of bad or mediocre quality and might be swarming with mistakes)?
I was also looking for nouns, but realized that quickie seems to have other, different and stronger associations than just a job done in a hurry.
Are huddle together, knock together, huddle through a piece of work, huddle things up, shuffle through, and slubber over indeed used in such a sense?
Thank you in advance!

- None of the above work.
- Maybe 'knock together'.
