In a manga, there was this conversation,

「ギャハハー今度はまたすげードジしたな」

and I would like to know what the last part means, specifically ドジしたな.

Summarising, this is what I would like to have answered:

  1. I think ドジ means something like clumsy. Then, is ドジした something like "did in a clumsy manner"?

  2. Why is ドジ written in かたかな?

  1. ドジ(を)する is basically closer to "to make a mistake" rather than "to do something in a clumsy way". It tends to refer to funny and/or affordable mistakes typically made by a dojikko character. There is another godan verb ドジる, which may be a little more common (ドジった, ドジってばっかり, ...) and has almost the same meaning. (You cannot directly modify ドジる with すごい, though)

  2. I think this answers your question, although there is not even a known kanji version in this case. Few people know or care about the etymology of ドジ.
