Dodgey Brothers' Constructions 

Alcoholic cocktail comprised of one shot of Bacardi rum, one shot of Malibu coconut rum, and topped up with sparkling lemonade.

History: Devised in June 1999 by a group of volunteer labourers working on building wooden containers for transporting Polish folkloric dance costumes for the Ashfield, Sydney, Australia based ensemble "Syrenka". After a long day at work where they nicknamed their opearation "dodgey brothers' constructions", the DBC boys scrounged around for what refreshment they could find. All there was left was a bottle of Bacardi, a bottle of Malibu and some lemonade. They decided it went well together, and a new drink was born.

Over the following years, knowledge of the "DBC" cocktail has spread to many a pub in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra in Australia, and parts of Europe and the United States.
One DBC, please, in a tall glass.
The readings I got are dodgey.

Dodgey Bros 

Used in reference to an item, construction or situation of low production quality/effort. For example, poor construction of a house or easily destructible housewares.

Derived from a recurring Australian sketch comedy skit from the 80's starring two brothers, the "Dodgey" brothers, set up to look slightly like a home shopping advertisement, where they would peddle items of poor quality, or shady services.
Person A: "This house doesn't look like it would meet proper Building Regulations..."
Person B: "Yeah, it's a bit Dodgey Bros"
