Never mind... dict.org handles that too.  I should have checked first.

noddy
  
     /nod'ee/ [UK: from the children's books] 1. Small and
     un-useful, but demonstrating a point.  Noddy programs are
     often written by people learning a new language or system.
     The archetypal noddy program is hello, world.  Noddy code
     may be used to demonstrate a feature or bug of a compiler.
     May be used of real hardware or software to imply that it
     isn't worth using.  "This editor's a bit noddy."
  
     2. A program that is more or less instant to produce.  In this
     use, the term does not necessarily connote uselessness, but
     describes a hack sufficiently trivial that it can be written
     and debugged while carrying on (and during the space of) a
     normal conversation.  "I'll just throw together a noddy awk
     script to dump all the first fields."  In North America this
     might be called a mickey mouse program.  See toy program.


Actually, which one did you mean?
