First in an infrequent series concerning some of this Legal Alien's more obscure phrases.
Today's word: Bollocks.
The word literally means "testicles", but has grown and adapted over the years to fit many different situations:
1: Shock:
Oh bollocks! I didn't see that coming!
2: Disgust:
Oh bollocks! That's gross!
3: To indicate someone is lying:
You're talking bollocks!
4: To indicate one has made a mistake:
Well, I bollocksed that one up!
5: To indicate something is untrue:
What a load of bollocks!
6: To give someone a reprimand:
Man, I got a bollocking over that report...
7: To indicate something is good:
Yeah, Ferraris are the bollocks!
