Chapuza
I simply wanted confirmation that my rendition of this term is the right one.

I agree with Jozé, in Mexico, "hacer chapuza" means "to cheat".

Chapuza
In Argentina for the first one (obra de poca importancia) we say "changa", but this definately does not mean to cheat.

Chapuza
Colloquial British English translation would be "a bodge up"
Unfortunately, where I am this is the norm!!! Ed |
