    As a plural noun, the bollocks are the testicles.

    Exaggerated truth or blatant lies.

    Unfathomable rubbish; corporate management speak, e.g. blue-sky thinking, touch base, and thinking outside the box.

    Poor or bad effort, esp. with media references. (The more bollocks, the worse the event.)

    When the bollocks belong to a canine, the inverse meaning of (5.) comes into play, though nobody knows quite why. This meaning appears to date back from 1989.

    To drop a bollock is to commit a social faux-pas leading to grave embarrassment.

    A bollocking is a telling off, often by ones boss for an inadequate or incomplete piece of work, or inappropriate behaviour.

    To lack bollocks is to be gutless, spineless and generally lack courage. This is not used inversely for the word balls covers this application.

    As a verb, to bollocks or to be bollocksed it to flummox or be flummoxed; confuse or be confused.

    To be bollock-naked it to be completely without clothing, save for a few relatively unimportant items such as socks, watch, rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings or other body jewellery.

    To be bollocksed also means to have imbibed an amount of alcohol which has eliminated a dangerously high number of brain cells causing a lack of social and spatial awareness, incoherent speech and the inability to believe that youre not as drunk as you are, youre not as unattractive in that state as you are, and that you dont rule the world.
