Hi There isn't a lot of difference If you botch something then the result is a bad piece of work. When people look at it, they'll say - he's botched that: it's a botched job If you bungle something then you handle it badly. We expected Fred to do well with the Hong Kong contract but he bungled it.

  • It all went horribly wrong I think a botch can be half-deliberate.
  • Maybe you couldn't be bothered to spend the time on it.
