What the hell is "bodge"????
It's obviously some bit of Brit slang. I've never heard it before but
the meaning is plain.
My suggestion is to find a 12-year-old child who earns a B average in
school and ask the child to clue you in.
It was not 'obvious' at all.

Yes it was.

No - it was not. It's an archaic word not used on a regular basis in
America. Webster's 1956 Dictionary describes bodge as an obsolete
version of the word botch.


I seriously doubt that any 12-year-old
American child has ever heard or used that word before.

Not the point.

YOU brought it up...


What I'm
gathering from others' interpretations is that it would seem to mean
"cobble together",

Sort of, but not precisely. Is English not your first language?

American English is.


but the meaning was not at all clear in the original post.

Was too. Blazingly obvious.

The whole initial post is rather muddled and unclear because of such
uncommon verbiage as bodge.
