More DescriptionPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bollocks is a word of Anglo-Saxon origin, meaning testicles. The word is often used figuratively in British English, as a noun to mean nonsense, an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, or an adjective to mean poor quality or useless. Similarly, the common phrases Bollocks to this! or That's a load of old bollocks generally indicate contempt for a certain task, subject or opinion. Conversely, the word also figures in idiomatic phrases such as the dog's bollocks and top bollock(s), which usually refer to something which is admired, approved of or well-respected.
