English term or phrase: Booch, booched
Pertenece a un videojuego de piratas y creo que se trata de un término de navegación, pero no estoy seguro.

Lo siento, no tengo más contexto que la frase.

Explanation:
Maybe these examples can help you. On the example below it mentions botch which was the first thing that I thought of. Botch in English is when something is done at a poor standard usually it is used in jobs done by unqualified tradesman, e.g. a roofer that fixed your roof and left a hole the size of a soccer ball in it.

A "Booched Pillage" is a pillage which has not worked out well. A ship which is on a booched pillage will commonly have full or almost full damage and bilge, and may not have any rum or cannon balls.
The word is a reference to Grady Booch.
The word is also a more piratey-sounding variant of the term 'botch', which means 'to ruin through clumsiness'.
