Description Bollocks [ˈbɒl ks], ballocks US, bollix [ˈbɒlɪks] Slang

pl n

1. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications/Anatomy) another word for testicles 2. nonsense; rubbish Interjection:
1. an exclamation of annoyance, disbelief, etc
the (dog’s) bollocks – something excellent

verb (usually followed by up):
to muddle or botch
[Old English beallucas, diminutive (pl) of beallu (unattested); see BALL1]

Usage: Both its anatomical senses and its various extended senses nowadays have far less impact than they used to, and seem unlikely to cause offence, though some older or more conservative people may object. The fact that shops displaying the Sex Pistols’ album containing this word were charged with offences defined in 19th century Indecent Advertisement and Vagrancy Acts now seems hard to credit.
