bollocks
British expletive, frustrated
Bollocks is vulgar British slang for testicles.
More commonly, bollocks means nonsense or rubbish: That's complete bollocks.
As an exclamation, it expresses frustration or disbelief: Oh bollocks, I left my wallet at home.
Bollocks to that is dismissive refusal.
Confusingly, the dog's bollocks means something excellent—the best of its kind: That curry is the dog's bollocks.
The word is versatile, vulgar, and quintessentially British.
