There ain't too many ozzies I know call 'em "shrimp" ... they are prawns! And I'll say 'Don't come the raw prawn with me!' ... is that listed? It should be, 'cause it's as fair dinkum as they come mate!

Only a dodgy person would call a prawn a shrimp. For those who don't understand the word dodgy, it means abit sus (sus as in suspect, of doubtful integrity/character/intelligence/workmanship).
You can do a bodgy job, which means a poor effort was made, or you can do a dodgy job, which implies maybe abit of deliberate dishonesty perhaps, along with the poor effort??
