Re:a load of BOLLOCKS
Yes, this is a great word.

You can say "that's bollocks" which means that it's bad or that it is untrue, for example if someone tells you something which you don't believe you might say "that's bollocks" or "You're talking bollocks".

Or if you say "bollocks" on its own that is just an expression of annoyance.

You can also say that something is "the dog's bollocks" which actually means that it's a very good thing.

In Ireland bollocks is usually pronounced and often written "bollix", particularly if you're in Dublin. You'll often hear people use it.
