Oct 30, 2018 at 13:37	comment	added	Tim Foster		@KJO perhaps my definition fits bodge(d) job, more than botch(ed) job, as the Wiktionary entry for bodge job is of a job completed quickly or carelessly.

Oct 29, 2018 at 15:27	comment	added	Heather		Bodge and botch are two separate things, afaik. Bodge comes from the name of a person who makes chair legs by turning, and is associated with something "inelegant but serviceable", botch is something incompetent that is not serviceable.
