Dear America:

Bollocks = nonsense, horse hockey

Bullock = boy cow, Gotham City police officer

Love,

Ann

What a load of boy cow!




Nope. Don't sound right. I guess you're correct.

LOL. I had a spellcheck issue with that today. No, I did not mean bullocks.

Yeah but there was this movie I saw the other day with Sandra Bollocks and oh never mind

THANK YOU!

I've seen many a fic with Bullocks, and it completely throws me out of the vibe.

See also: Bullock, Sandra. Object of deep Keanu Reeves devotion.

Blalock, Jolene - taking vulcans lower than ever before.

Also:

Bollix (-up) = "mess up", early 20th-century import of BrE "bollocks-up" [past tense: bollixed/bollocksed/ballsed (-up)]

Ballocks = testicles, and either it's before 1800, or you are being coarse and unfit for polite company, most likely because you're singing about sailors

And as pointed out by Daniel Radcliffe, bollocks does not get bleeped out on Inside the Actors Studio.

Bullock is awesome. He was in a shopping mall when the earthquake hit Gotham. He ended up with a metal pipe through the arm, which he left in until he walked all the way back to the precinct. As soon as he figured out Gordon was missing, he popped the pipe out himself by hitting a wall, then got Gordon safe (in a huge moment of symbolism, Gordon had been trapped by the falling Bat-Signal).

And Bullock = Boba Fett! (The first Boba, the good one.)

I swear, my fellow Americans really know balls about bollocks and bullocks. Okay, and just about everything else. We need you to guide us! *plays inspirationally heroic music*

Sandra's kinda cute though.
I'm only saying...
