deepthroat Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This thread is the dogs bollocks. (Still not sure if that means I love it or hate it though). Quote Link to comment
duke007 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 This thread is the dogs bollocks. (Still not sure if that means I love it or hate it though). Dog's bollocks - You would say that something really fantastic was the dog's bollocks. Comes from the fact that a dog's bollocks are so fantastic that he can't stop licking them! Nice huh? Often shortened to just "The dog's". Quote Link to comment
4:17 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 But then if you don't include the prefix dog's, then bollocks is the equivalent of bullshit, yes? As in "What the (insert reviled politician here) said was complete bollocks." 1 Quote Link to comment
duke007 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Correct.. "Bollocks - This is a great English word with many excellent uses. Technically speaking it means testicles but is typically used to describe something that is no good (that's bollocks) or that someone is talking rubbish (he's talking bollocks). Surprisingly it is also used in a positive manner to describe something that is the best, in which case you would describe it as being "the dog's bollocks". Englishmen who live in America take great delight in ordering specialised registration plates for their cars using the letters B.O.L.L.O.X. Good eh? " Quote Link to comment
