from what I understand, dodgy means something totally different outside the states. actually, people here don't really say "dodgy" for anything.
from dictionary.com...
dodg·y
adj. Chiefly British dodg·i·er, dodg·i·est
1. Evasive; shifty.
2. Unsound, unstable, and unreliable.
3. So risky as to require very deft handling.
That's about how i've ever heard it used. Since i'm american and it's not in my normal vernacular, i have no reference for conversational variations (slang).
