I can't not find a right word.
Let's say, we are discussing about how to protect our children from harming themselves. And a person says like we can lock all the windows in the school to make the environment safe.
OR, You've been seeing a doctor for a while for a constant pain that doesn't go away. When you complain about why the pain persists for so long, the doctor says like Okay I will give more pain killers.
But, these suggestions above are quite..non-sense, right?
They are not getting to the bottom of the problems.
So, I want to say "That can't be a *** solution.
The only word that I can think of is "fundamental"
But I am not sure if this word would work for the latter situation above.
Could anyone help me?

drive like miss daisy?
I heard this expression on TV
A lady was told that she drives like Miss Daisy or something like that.
I looked it up on Google and I can see it is not a compliment, but I don't really get what this means?
Is it just referring a lady who wants to have a back seat and ask you to go here and there as if you are her chauffeur? Or a lady who drives very slowly and annoys everyone on the road?
Could anyone help me with this expression?
Thanks in advance!

is there a different meaning for "tomato sauce"
This is from a documentary that I am watching.
Does tomato sauce mean adventure or something in slang?
The great outdoors wouldn't be the great outdoors without lashings of extra tomato sauce on it. something to give it a bit of flavour and a bit of spice.
