Botch
Murks , also botch , is a slang term for the work of a person without sufficient specialist knowledge - or its result, a defective product, a construction defect or a miserable, bungling service.
Furthermore, botch and botch (in general) also mean something that has failed, or the feeling when all things go wrong. The term is used synonymously with “botched life” in sentences like “My life is a total botch” , or as a verb: “You totally botched it” , “ You did it completely wrong”.
In addition, there is the meaning to kill 'kill' (“Now I'm going to kill you!” 'I'll kill you'), the etymological context of which is unclear.
Regional particularities
In addition to the communal German meaning also used in Austria , working in botch is a euphemism for undeclared work, i.e. work that avoids statutory taxes and duties. This also expressly refers to trained skilled workers and good quality work and should not be confused with poor work. This meaning is also used in part in Bavaria and in the area of the former GDR.
A phrase is the shoo-botched process , one that shoddy temporary solution 'to scurry quickly [run]', but also connotes to Skitterer , a Dachschaden have '.
