A Couple of Folk

[Allison Hall]

I found it very curious that no one on this list has heard of the word
"botch," for I use it all the time.  I can't offer any information on the
origin of the word, but I and everyone I've heard use the word have used it
to mean "to foul up," "to screw up," or "to make a really big mistake."  In
gymnastics, I used it quite often if I completely did a routine incorrectly:
  Wow, did I just botch that one!
