'Bollocks' seems to be a very British word. i have travelled to america on many occasions and i have never heard it said, with 'nuts' seeming to be the popular alternative.

it is a very widely used term in UK english, for instance kick in the bollocks = kick in the nuts.

never mind the bollocks = forget the bullshit/nonsense

have a bollocking = get told off/ chastised/ reprimanded

well, you've bollocksed that = you've f**ked it up/ broke it

drop a bollock = make a mistake

bollocks to this = contempt/ f**k it

dog's bollocks = the best eg my cars the dog's bollocks

work your bollocks off = work really hard

talking bollocks = popularly thought to come from the name of old preists who were referred to as ballocks... and talk rubbish during sermons = talking ballocks... leading to todays literal meaning.

in the middle ages a special knife was adapted to deal with fallen knights in armour who were dispatched by going up under the armour and stabbing the crotch area and was referred to as a "ballock knife". This dagger had a pair of symmetrical oval swellings located on each side of the hilt at the guard, clearly made to resemble male genitalia.

bollocky is commonly used australian slang for naked.....

where we british prefer stark bollock naked......

now that you are scratching your bollocks because you are completely bollocksed by the bollocks i have posted i'm gonna carry on sitting here on my bollocks and see what other bollocks people have posted. bollocks to this i'll leave yer to it....

I'm sure the Irish were thrilled, not that they had any say in it.

Here she comes to say good night
I'll get no sleep tonight
With a constant vision she still can see
She was the girl for me

Wednesday week - she loved me
Wednesday week - never happened at all

There she goes I want to see her again
She's gone to school with her best friend
She only does the things she likes to do
Now she wants something new

Wednesday week ...

Here she comes ...

Wednesday week

Sounds a lot like the American word.."shit". I'll post that in the "questions to our American friends" thread.

When I first went to America and people asked how long I was on holiday for and I answered 'a fortnight' they would usually look baffled and suggest 'four nights?'... or occasionally 'fourteen nights?' which is correct. Maybe they had read Uncle tom's Cabin

What does it mean when someone says "the yard hour"? Does it mean past noon? For example, you ask someone if they'd like a drink, and they say "not 'til the sun's past the yard hour".

Um, if it was the "yardarm" it would be 11 am.

That is, in the North Atlantic the sun, as seen from the deck of a ship, would appear to be "over the yardarm" at about 11 am in the Summertime.

The yardarm is the part of a sailing ship from which the sails are hung.
In olden days, circa late eighteenth century, it was when sailors got their first tot of rum of the day.

Bank holidays remain a mystery to me, I can't think of one good reason they exist except to make it rain and clog up the motorways. I went to what was commonly known as a 'secondary school' which I think is the equivalent of American high schools. Except I left aged 16 (arrived there at 14) because that's how they work and we don't have graduation ceremonies. It's simply a case of 'you're 16, time to leave'
