No but we see a lot of people typing complete bollox in here. I think you answered your own thread Gilly by calling it a load of bollox.

What is bollox?

Think of it as a English Slang way of saying "talking utter rubbish".

If you call something a load of bollox,

then its no good.

However if you call something 'the dogs bollox'

then its very good.

Hope that doesnt confuse you too much.

Thank you both.I am not confused now.

I think I know what you mean by saying ''the dogs bollox''...

Could you please define the term 'A LOAD OF OLD BOLLOCKS' for this poor, pathetic, linguistically challenged American?

See above ^

What? Me? Sorry. I guess I'm really dense. What I wrote is bollocks?

Bollocks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"Bollocks" is a word of Anglo Saxon origin, meaning "testicles". The word is often used figuratively in English, as a noun to mean "nonsense" or conversely to mean "top quality" or "perfection", an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, and an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless". In this respect, the term could be said to be a contranym. Similarly, the common phrases "Bollocks to that!" or "That's a load of old bollocks" express a distaste for a certain task, subject or opinion; "the dog's bollocks" expresses the opposite, namely admiration, pleasure or approval.

Perhaps the best-known use of the term is in the title of the 1977 punk rock album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. Testimony in a resulting prosecution over the "obscene" term demonstrated that in Old English the word referred to a priest, and could also be used to mean "nonsense".

But then I believe you already knew all that.
