******** to you too

Shamelessy nicked from the BBC :

The word's probable derivation is so non-vulgar as to be quite amusing. Specifically, a bollock is a pulley-block at the head of a topmast, otherwise known as a bullock block. This was used to great effect to prevent the Sex Pistols' album Never Mind the ******** from being censored. A refreshing example of the legal system grabbing hold of the wrong reason and using it to do the right thing.

I'd hear that it was from the Old English word beallucas, which meant testicles.

There's a BBC page with some fun information here:

Right then, time for some more badly researched crap for wyrdness to shoot me down on

Non facts today:

Thomas Crapper did not invent the flushing toilet.

The carburettor on the first Harley Davidson motorcycle was not made out of a tomato tin.

Neil Armstrong never uttered the words "Best of luck Mr Gorsky" whilst walking on the moon.

Talking of Neil Armstrong, the pictures of the first man on the moon (taken by one of the astronauts) is allegedly Buzz Aldrin - Buzz was apparently so upset at not being the first on the moon he refused to take any pictures of Armstrong.
