Aislin Ceawlin Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 One of my all time favorites is one that was frequently used by my grandmother who was from Tennessee, She used it to describe anyone she thought was lazy, no good, etc "Why he's sorrier than bat **bleep**"!

Phil Deakins Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The dog's bollocks. It means something that's so good that it's near perfect. I'm sure you can guess what 'bollocks' means although I don't think it's a word that Americans use. Only males have them It can be used in on its own, as in "Bollocks!" (rubbish!), or in a sentence such as, "That's a load of bollocks" (that's a load of rubbish), or. "He kicked me in my bollocks" (no explanation necessary). An American forumite used the word to me not long ago - it made me laugh. She explained that it's not a word that's used over there and that she'd heard it in a TV programme and checked what it meant. That's why I don't think it's used in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
