Nothing but a bit of BOLLOCKS!

I used the word ‘bollocks’ the other day and was told very sternly that women and children don’t use that sort of language. I was quite taken back. I've never thought, 'bollocks' to be swear word. Granted it's not the most polite word in the world but would you rather me say 'bollocks' or some other descriptive word that would make my mother blush.

Without going into a rave about equality between the sexes and women’s liberation, I would like to point out the word ‘bollocks’ is widely accepted as an alternative to other naughty words. Please see the following examples.
