A Conversation (only in London)

Sitting and reading on our hotel beds:

Mom: "Do you know what people are saying when they say bollocks?!?"
Me: (can I say balls to my mom?) "...Yes, it means testicle."

I then informed her that fanny has a very different meaning than in US English.  It was an interesting evening!

  1. Referring to something as "The Dog's Bollocks" makes the object really cool. It's like saying "that stuff's the shit!" You should look up what it means to be "stuffed" in Zimbabwe :)
