Gofer

I just learned a new term for "gofer" from England: "dogs's body or "dogsbody".

My WorldRadioHistory site curator for the UK used the expression, and I found out it defines what I did in my first year in radio: hanging out at a radio station and waiting to be given something to do... usually the stuff nobody higher in the food chain wanted to do.

Besides "gofer" I wonder how many other job titles or descriptions those of us who started at the true bottom were given?

Another British expression for something that's gone wrong, or is a mess: A dog's dinner.
