I'm English and despite the fact I partly agree that "bollocks" is effective in an english accent..( so does "bloody"), but maybe this is . because Americans need to adopt and use more of our lingo!

After all, we have adopted many of your words because most TV programmes ARE from America!

I was thinking about this the other day, and you comng forward and saying this I feel is a good thing!


Welcome to the the world of wonderful English expressions :)

Use it appropriatley, and have fun! haha

I live in the US but my great grandparents are from England. Ive been to England and personally, I would think the person was weird if they were saying it with an American accent. I have an American accent and i think it only sounds cute with English accents:)

Personally, I believe the word bollocks can only be uttered effectively in an English accent.

Then, I could be biased.
I am English.

Where are you from? x

Rather odd question!
Use whatever word you wish!
You may have to do a little explaining though, if people don't understand.
As with all words like that, remember it may cause offense to some people.
