Hehe...it's interesting how quickly the topic changed in this discussion. I
don't think I've heard the word "bodge" before but I have seen "kludge" used

| (...) The word bodge comes up quite often in the BBC show "Scrapheap Challenge", shown here in the States on the cable channel TLC under the name "Junkyard Wars". If you want another example, TV's MacGyver frequently bodged things. (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
