Modus Operandi
Factotum
A person having many diverse activities, responsibilities or skills.
The word derives from the Latin command (imperative construction)
fac totum (“do / make everything”).
Bodger
In contemporary English slang, bodging refers to a job done of
necessity using whatever tools and materials that come to hand and which,
whilst not necessarily elegant, is nevertheless serviceable.
Bodged should not be confused with “botched”:a poor, incompetent or
shoddy example of work, deriving from the mediaeval word “botch” – meaning a bruise or carbuncle, typically in the field of DIY.
A “bodged DIY” job is serviceable: whereas a “botched DIY” job is not.
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”
- Theodore Roosevelt
