>>Back in the mid-90s I worked in Manhattan and worked with an Irishman who came over weeks earlier with 3 of his cousins. We would sit around drinking lukewarm Guiness and they would talk on and on and I would constantly say, "Huh? What was that? Say that again." It took me months to understand most of what they were saying. And the drunker they got, the harder it was. His favorite phrase was, "Oh bullocks!" I think it's swearing, but since no one else knew what he meant, no offense was taken...

>Bollocks. They are part of the body, men having two and women having none. The phrase "Oh bollocks!" basically means "Oh baloney!" (among more vivid translations).

I'm sure there's a John Wayne film where he accuses someone: "you bollocksed it up"
