droopered

gangerh commented on the word droopered

"I tell all the decent, trained skilled workmen who come to the house and clear up the mess left behind by a bodger. The word is 'droopered' - it means not just a cowboy job, but the whole bloody wild west of a cowboy job. It's when you turn on the cold tap and the upstairs lights come on kind of a job. When you turn on the central heating and the next door neighbours front door bell rings, kind of job - when someone who laid the last wood flooring here, cut the flaming doors too sodding short by 2 inches - kind of job - DROOPERED!" - Luci Anscombe.
