Never heard of that one!! Despite spending even longer in England than pniccimiss!!\n\nBut there are always new slang terms evolving, so it may be in use among the 'yoof' of today!!\n; )\n\nIt's not an official or colloquial 'English' term though, but it could become one with frequent use!

It's an onomatopeic expression used humorously to denote someone grumbling and ranting, and quite often to replace a bout of swearing with something more socially acceptable. It's quite old-fashioned, not really used anymore...

"Bollocks" is a swear word meaning testicles in British English. The word is often used figuratively, most commonly as a noun to mean "nonsense" or as an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, but also in a number of other ways; as an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless", and in various compound expressions (see below). Due to its versatility, bollocks has been called the Swiss Army Knife of andrological profanities.\n\nPerhaps the best-known international use of the term in this sense is in the title of a Sex Pistols album. Testimony in a resulting lawsuit over the "obscene" term demonstrated that in Old English the word referred to a priest, and could also be used to mean "nonsense" (see Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols for details).

Oh dear....now I feel guilty.....\n\nI'm glad you said you wouldn't be offended.\n\nWhen my son was little, I didn't want him to learn swear words. I can be a bit volatile, and have been known to let slip the odd s-h-i-t and other naughties.\n\nSo I decided to train myself not to swear....but I couldn't stop it altogether.....so I used to say "Oh BASINGSTOKE!!!!"\n\nIt worked like a charm. He is 18 now and he has still been known to say it!!!\n\nI'm sure your home town is a very nice place. You can have a go at me if you like. I live in South East London (very slummy)

Found a few things for ya .. http://www.insultmonger.com/swearing/  .. also .. (copied from the site and links placed below) .. Dictionaries of slang and swear words\nI had a problem these days because I didn't know the meaning of a swear word and asked what the word meant, but some people complained. After that incident I searched for some help and found it on Urban Dictionary. It is a slang dictionary with thousands of words and growing. But I searched for more and found The Alternative English Dictionary - Slang, profanities, insults and vulgarisms from all the world. A nice place to find not so nice words, it has a a PDF version, useful for vacations.\n\nAnd there is more: a swearsaurus: The Art of Insults. Offensive jokes, an insulting slang dictionary, the world's largest multilingual swearing archive of 165 languages, random insult generators - you'll find them all here. I took a look on Brazilian Portuguese Language Swear Words page and I had some surprises. I didn't know many of the words and expressions of the list and I can't use most of them, because they are too rude for my taste, even when I'm very angry. I tried also the Portuguese Language Swear Words list but didn't find some of my favourite expressions (no, I won't write them here).\n\nPosted by Bibi at August 14, 2005 07:30 PM in Language

It means literally an "ox":  Meaning an "idiot" or "fool".  I suppose it could refer to a cuckhold, as well.  It is pronounced "whey".

As far as I know, the slang word goes right back to the Middle Ages, when a "burd" was a poetic name for a "lady". You can still read old ballads about "Burd Ellen".\n\nThe name was early on confused with the word "bride" as well as "bird" and has become one of the most common British slang terms.

By far the most shocking one that I'd discovered was "feisty," which literally means "like a farting dog."  It comes from an abbreviation of the phrase "fisting hound" or "fisting dog," and "fist" was in this case a reference to breaking wind.  (Though "fist" was used in the phrase as a general pejorative, like if you tripped over the "fucking chair.")

Hardly, it's slang. And if you need to really need to know, I won't go into details here. Look it up in the following link.

Hey- good question! I had no idea, so I looked up the answer for you. Here it is:\n\nMinced Oaths\n\nThe English, being a restrained lot, have a long list of euphemistic phrases, many of which became part of the language before it spread to other parts of the world. The root cause of these is a wish to communicate without being explicit. This is something the English are particularly fond of, hence their long tradition of double-entendre comedy.\n\nEuphemisms aren't all from the distant past though. For every Shakesperian 'beast with two backs' there's a 20th century 'knee trembler'.\n\nMinced oaths are a sub-group of euphemisms used to avoid swearing when expressing surprise or annoyance. If you hit your thumb with a hammer when great aunt Edith is in the room what do you say? It's probably going to be a minced oath. Shakespeare might have resorted to 'gadzooks' (God's hooks - referring to the nails in the cross), we might try 'shoot' or 'freaking heck'.\n\nThey are usually, although not exclusively, religious in nature and date from the days when it wasn't acceptable to use the name of God, Jesus or other religious notables in everyday speech. To mince your words, or mince matters, means to choose words so as not to offend anyone. Some example are 'Jiminy Cricket' (Jesus Christ), 'dagnamit' (God damn it'), 'for Pete's sake' (for St. Peter's sake).\n\nIt's interesting that, while we continue to generate new euphemisms, new minced oaths are few and far between. Perhaps that's because, while there are still taboos about discussing death, disability, homosexuality etc, the restrictions on swearing out loud when surprised or annoyed have slackened somewhat. \n\nThere are many examples:\n\nBejabbers --> By Jesus \nBleeding heck --> Bloody Hell \nBlimey --> Blind me \nBy golly --> By God's body \nBy gosh --> By God \nBy Jove --> By God \nCrikey --> Christ \nCriminy --> Christ \nDagnabbit --> God damn it \nDagnammit --> God damn it \nDang --> Damn \nDangnabbit --> God damn it \nDoggone --> God damn \nDrat --> God rot it \nEgad --> A God \nFlaming heck --> Fucking Hell \nFlipping heck --> Fucking Hell \nFor crying out loud --> For Christ's sake

I think its usually a phrase used when someone is astonished (either positively or negatively!).  I live in Scotland so I use 'bloody hell' quite a lot, although I usually use it negatively-like if I'm driving and someone pulls out in front of me I'll say "bloody hell you prick" as I'm surprised (and annoyed!) that they suddenly pulled out.  Alternatively, if say I was fishing one day and caught a huge fish I might say "bloody hell thats a beauty" as I'm astonished at the size of the thing (and that I caught it, as Ive never been fishing :-) !) so in all I think it is usually to exclaim astonishment or surprise.  Although to be honest it is usually considered a cursive term, I try not to use it in front of workmates etc and if I do I usually say "excuse my language" like a nice girl does!!!\nAll the best!
