Australia Here! Anyone else?!

What does Bollocks mean?

 

[bantymum]

Hey Bubba, "Bollocks" is a word from England,
I think it means "a load of crap!!" you say bollocks if you dont believe what someone is telling you or you dont agree with something.
I guess we could all start using that word here!!
but then again, maybe not!!!

Thanks yea I got the gist of the meaning. I was just wondering what specificly it was referring to thanks.

Ostrich is Australian for Chicken!

Hey bubba, we didnt mention bollocks in this thread did we, i searched but cant find it, or were you just curious.
Ostriches in Australia are Ostriches too!!!
Emus look like Ostriches but are smarter and better looking. just kidding!!

hehehehe - yeah why not hey!?!

I'm from Tasmania - LOL, you know, that little bit of rock down the bottom that is all by its lonesome! It's nice to see there is a healthy Australian contingent in here! I haven't stumbled across any Britts yet. So as I'm English, I will claim to be the first!? (Does that count even though I live in Oz?) And yep bollocks means crap, basically! I love slang in all its forms! Australian's have some of the stranger ones I have to admit! I never could understand 'filthy' or 'filth' as meaning something is GOOD! I know some people get offend by some of the slang, so I will apologise if I have caused any offence here. I have to say I really love to use slang in my day to day conversation! It's force of habit in my family. We come from cockney stock - so say no more, nudge nudge wink wink!

Aw, I just read your post - I am SO jealous of you guys! I can just imagine the space and the fresh air. I absolutley LOVE snow! I used to live on the Gold Coast in QLD, but the heat was literally killing me - (I suffer with migraines and the heat brought them on worse I believe). I relocated to Tasmania, and haven't looked back! We usually get a light dusting of snow each winter, and I just love it! But I guess if the snow blocked up the doors and made getting about hard, I might change my mind on that! I used to have gerbils as pets when I was a kid in the UK... LOL them and hampsters! As those guys aren't allowed (I think that is the case) in Oz, I own rats instead! Viva la furballs!!!!

Yay, a Taswegian here!!!
I love Tassie people, they are really homely,
I have their CWA cookbook from the Esk Valley.
Its a beautiful place, lots of wilderness posters are made in Tassie. I wish to come there one day.
My true love was from Tassie.
Theres a few English people here too.
Perhaps put a new thread in asking for them to show themselves so you can all talk about english stuff!!! my grandmas was from Edingborough and grandad from Scotland!
Its funny that if i ever have one too many to drink i get this thick English/scottish accent and everyone asks me "what part of England are you from?" i dunno!

G'day Aussies and Kiwis. I'm an Aussie who has spent the past 17 years living in the States. My hubby, 2 kids and I have 11 acres in Virginia. All my family is still in OZ. I was in QLD August 2006 visiting family, born and raised in Vic myself.

WOW...its a really small world!

We have a caravan in Lakesea Park. I have been going to Durras since I was a baby (like my father before me). Jen has been a few times. I guess we will not make it till April this year. So the van stays empty most of the year.

I just love the place. One day we should try and move to a small farm closeby....

Hope you guys have fun this January!
