@Scayde a part of the male anatomy I'm sure you're more than familiar with and a particularly versatile addition to the English language:
"Bollocks!" = "Oh darn!"
"Bollocks to that!" = "No, I don't think so"
"I got a bollocking" = "I was severely scolded"
"Bollocksed" = "Rather intoxicated"
Only been to London once, and only for 2 hours. I got most of that slang from "Lock Stock". As for Peterborough, I've lived there all my life. Trust me, go to London instead.
Drat, no pictures. Click here to see what my sig WOULD of looked like.
@Kevka, I was only teasing you I rarely go into town as such in this last few years. It is nice not living too far away - though - because you get easy access to everything, but I much prefer the suburbs to live in

"The tube" and "bollocks" are more British than tea Also, the Brits insist on calling you "darling" or "dear" although they hardly know you
Bollocks is a wonderful expression indeed. When I first visited my hubby's house in Miami, I was standing in the garden when a golf ball came flying through the air and hit the house next to us. I heard a male voice shout "bollocks!" with great emphasis, and said to Silur: How nice, I hear you have British neighbours

ROFLMAO! really? Funny that, I hate the tube, but bollocks is one of my most used curses. My hubby tends to say "Oh Bugger!" or "What a bugger!"" which I am sure could be equally British

lmao! I find that having a partially British heritage over here is very handy when it comes to curses..
I mean... in a frame of rage I can publicly exclaim, "Oh Bollocks!" and get away with it because most people don't know what it means, and it doesn't carry the same implications as some of the alternatives
I also use "Oh Bugger!" But I just say that more privately.. given that on this side of the world the word only tends to be employed within a particular... *cough* context

.......All those moments ... will be lost ... in time ... like tears in rain.
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

I believe it was the english/british that first used the english language.
I would supose that over the years they've both changed but we have the English language still because as the original changes it's still the original*
