Quote:
"Bollocks" is a swear word meaning testicles in British English. The word is often used figuratively, most commonly as a noun to mean "nonsense" or as an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, but also in a number of other ways; as an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless", and in various compound expressions (see below). Due to its versatility, bollocks has been called the Swiss Army Knife of andrological profanities.

Perhaps the best-known international use of the term in this sense is in the title of a Sex Pistols album. Testimony in a resulting lawsuit over the "obscene" term demonstrated that in Old English the word referred to a priest, and could also be used to mean "nonsense" (see Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols for details).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollocks
(follow the link for the cockney rhyming slang "Jackson Pollocks" among others).

Bollocks is a very versatile and colourful word in the English language (though not in Americanese, you guys need to learn to talk proper likes what I does) and can be applied to numerous situations.

It can be used as a transitive verb "bollocks to the taxman" or as an intransitive verb "what a load of bollocks".

It can even be used as a adjective "my new car is the bollocks" or a conjunction "I ate the pizza, bollocks to the pasta".

Other uses for the word include:

Resignation: "Bollocks to that!"

Disbelief: "What a load of bollocks!"

Insults: "He's a bollock head"

Proposition: "would you like to touch my bollocks?"

Pride: "we were the dog’s bollocks!"

Happiness: "he's chuffed to his bollocks!"

Chastisement: "the boss gave me a right bollocking for that!"

Denial: "like bollocks I did!"

It can also be used to enhance the meaning of a common sentence, consider "he's a liar" could be enhanced thus "he's always talking bollocks" and can be further enhanced with the use of other versatile words of the English language such as fuck "he's always talking fucking bollocks".

It has also been said by many figures thoughout history:
"Bollocks to civil rights!"
George Bush Jnr

"Bollocks to this!"
George Armstrong Custer(at the battle of little Bighorn)

"Unsinkable? Bollocks!"
Captain of the Titanic

"Bollocks to the Argentineans!"
Margaret Thatcher

As you can see Bollocks is a very versatile and useful word, one may even say that bollocks is the dog’s bollocks and the mutt’s nuts of words.

Well, I apologize to ya'll but I like my life, so I can't really rant. That and one of the advantages of getting older is by the time you get someplace where you can share how annoyed you are you've forgotten why you needed to rant.

Seryn, I've found the bliss of ignorance, it's called mental deterioration. I recommend it to everyone in moderation.

For all of the ladies whom society says are out of the "mainstream", blame your grandmothers. Or, for the younger half of the generation out there, your great-grandmothers. Find out who was alive during the 1920's and say "Thanks for supporting the Flapper lifestyle and destroying the idea of the Rubenesque figure as the female perfection." Unless they didn't support the Flapper lifestyle in which case you can commiserate with them about how unfair the fickle standards of society are to those of us who don't fit them, and how little really changes over the years. If speaking with the grandparentals isn't an option for you, then find someone else from that generation and speak with them. They'll enjoy it and you'll learn something (even if it doesn't strike you till later.)

Oh, Riv6xxxx & Seryn, I've seen pictures of each of you (either from another thread or another website) & don't worry, neither of you is suffering in the attractiveness department. It can take many years and several attempts to find a life partner, but it's worth the effort. And it may be the last person you ever expected. It was all that for me.

(Wow, I just reread that & it sounded really patronizing. I apologize, that wasn't how it was intended; I also can't figure out a better way to say it. Please take it in the spirit it was intended...)

For everyone else who is suffering a bad spot, remember this happy ray of joy: no matter how bad the moment may be, you've help create a family who will listen to you keen and whose love will help keep you in the air. It's nice to know there's a shoulder the size of the world to cry on.

Hell. It's full of old people who don't stop talking.

This is really an unimportant bit. Nothing that really affects my life but I feel the need to rant anyway.

I am a bit of a movie buff and I am Majorly in lust with Gerard Butler (The Phantom of the Opera, Timeline, and such). So naturally I try to watch as many of his movies as I can. There's one that is about to come out in Canada that I've been waiting for for about a year. I's called Beowulf and Grendel. It sound great, wonderful cast, a lead that I love , and it's based on one of my favorite stories (I'm also a mythology and ancient history buff).

Beowulf is an awesome tale and from what I've seen this movie should do it justice. Thay take the core story and build on it to make everyone a bit more human. It looks great.

There's just on problem. As I mentioned, it opens in Canada. I don't live in Canada.

Son of a with a flying bollocks!!!!

Here they get me all excited with articles and metioning it in interviews and It's not even showing in the same country as me. Bastards.

Hoo. Ok. I think I feel better. Maybe I can organize a road trip or something. Toronto isn't that far.

That is a really interesting point you made about the flappers. I'm ashamed to say that it never seriously occured to me.

ok, going to spend a few days reading up on that and working out its place in the evolution of fashion according to Helen.

To me the cause of this obsession with weight and the body started with the 70's and womens lib and the bra burning movement (if I'm saying the wrongs words sorry, I hope you know what I mean) - that getting rid of external corsets, waspies etc, but not ending the desire to change ('perfect' possibly?) the human form meant that now theres this huge pressure to achieve the small flat waisted corset shape but through exercise and dieting. But you are right, it goes back further than that.

ooooh, interesting.

And thank you for the compliment. Honestly, I start a thread to be a total bitch and three separate people say nice things to me. I gotta do this more often!

But where did you see the picture of River[numbers](i'm sorry sweetie, dyscalcula, -crapness with numbers - sadly not Duckula's cousin) I have this image in my head of perfect hair and a power suit and I want to see if i'm right.

yup, the right one will come along, despite all the overthinking and cynicism, I somehow still believe that. I'm hopin he just comes glowing and with a big neon sign.

Copilot,

It's more than OK to rant twice. I did and I'll probably rant again.

*deep breath*

I didn't think this would be this hard. I didn't realize it would hurt this much. It's so stupid and I know it, but it must be done.

Everything's so complicated and everything's messed up and now I've lost a friend. A friend I didn't realize how much I appreciated and counted on. And it hurts and it sucks and I'm unhappy.

*exhales.*

Thanks. That feels better.

Let's see, going in nothing resembling order:

All of my points are interesting. To me, at least. Life is too short to worry overmuch about anyone else's interest.

River's pic can be found at:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=18200

You have to go a way down the board to get to it, but trust me, you can't miss it.

The study of history offers a lot of insights into who we are and why; I'm glad you found it interesting. But who is this Helen you refer too?

Why wouldn't you deserve the compliments? Or more accurately, why are you surprised you received them? No thanks are necessary, but you're welcome.

Overthinking and cynicism are not necessarily bad traits, in moderation, but remember to think about and be cynical of your overthinking and cynicism, it keeps them in perspective. The neon sign is usually a flash in the brainpan telling your conscious mind something your subconscious figured out a long time ago. But if he's glowing, you may want to take a pass. That's not what they mean when they talk about the "nuclear" family.

Hell. It glows in the dark.

Okay I am a little angry. I changed everything about myself for significant other and now he goes and developes a crush on a girl who's almost EXACTLY LIKE I USED TO BE! The Bastard! So anyway back to me I've decided to scrap the new me and go back to just doing whatever the hell I want when I want and Dorkus be damned.
Oh well little yellow submaries of hope he came down to work and fixed the router for me cause he decided it needed to be password protected. Why must people keep changing things around as soon as I get used to them the way they are?
