Bollocks

When I found no music from a band/artist beginning with the letter V in my A-Z music collection I uttered the word "Bollocks" to which Kalina asked
You have some interesting and unique words over there, what does "Bollox" mean? Like, does it mean shit or something? :p
To which I replied
Kalina - According to our home-grown comedian 'Brummy', Jasper Carrot, bollox are zits. So next time you meet an English chemist/pharmacist just ask "have you got anything for these bollocks?" ;)

Nah, I'm joshing ya, actually it's slang for balls and accordingly affords itself the privelege of being a cuss word too :)
BoIIocksWell, International folks, would you like to see the word in action? (You may need QuickTime6 too see this) Do you wanna see some English people uttering the magic word? I only just mentioned the VW Polo bomber ad the other day, and then I find this little gem of theirs... VW/Bollocks

Thanks again to Kontraband ;)

    hahahaha That could have been me!. A year or so ago I popped round to Sainsburys and wondered why the nozzle would'nt fit in the hole. Anyway, me being me MADE it fit! Then as I was filling I noticed that the pipe on the nozzle was my fave colour.. Yellow.. YELLOW!! EEEK!, yes, half a tank of diesel. I topped up with 4-star and apart from a few interesting kangaroos it wasn't too bad!

    Hehe, nice one Brom-man :) MADE it fit, indeed. Did that with the NOT garage door key last year. I eventually had to break in when the key snapped off in the lock LOL

    Many years ago a friend filled up his VW Beetle with diesel. He drained most of it, then sat running the engine with doses of 4 star to 'flush' the rest out LOL AND his nextdoor neighbour leaned out of their window and asked him to "turn it down"? Damn, never knew the VW Beetle had a MUTE button!

    I never really say it actually. My friend said it when she smashed an icecream dish though, in Greece, and everyone stared.

    Hehehehe.

    Davinian: LOL - you been on the gin before lunch again, dude?

    Seffy: Good for you girl :D Don't they smash crockery in Greece anyway? So it must have been "the word" that shocked them all LOL

    And don't say "cool" to French people, it's similar to their word for bottom or arse ;)

    Hey piniyini :) Yeah, had the same thoughts myself, poor little girl LOL

    Haha, that's a funny clip, cheers for that :) Looks like something my brother would do when he thought people weren't watching... and looks a bit like him too, after all, he did eat all the pies.
