I will be in London next week and will be sure to ask the first Bobby I see where I can get some... In regards to Bollocks, I must say I did not do an adequate job of researching this term. My first source, shown below led me astray. Further research uncovers the definition that is closer to the one to which you refer! From http://pages.prodigy.com/NY/NYC/britspk/ukus1.html Bollocks --> Balls (testicles) From http://www.effingpot.com/ Bollocks --> This is a great English word with many excellent uses. Technically speaking it means testicles but is typically used to describe something that is no good (that's bollocks) or that someone is talking rubbish (he's talking bollocks). Surprisingly it is also used in a positive manner to describe something that is the best, in which case you would describe it as being "the dog's bollocks". Englishmen who live in America take great delight in ordering specialised registration plates for their cars using the letters B.O.L.L.O.X. Good eh? Now, as the Director of UK/USA Relations (Ealing Branch), you really should have a charter of keeping these dictionaries up to date! How else can us Beth fans be ready to translate??? Of course if she spends too much time in the States, California in particular, we may need another dictionary entirely (given that we East Coasters often cant communicate with our West Coast bretheren and their unique slang).... ;-) Will American soon to be in search of a Spliff in London - -----Original Message----- From: Starsai1@aol.com [SMTP:Starsai1@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 9:01 AM To: ROCHEK@uk.ibm.com; trailer-park@smoe.org Subject: Re: Beth in Top Magazine You naughty boy!

Yeah, well, I'm a good ol' southern boy, from Northeaster Arkansas, the foothills of the Ozark mountains. Actually, the part of Arkansas I'm in is more midwestern than southern. And before anybody makes any cracks, we're not a bunch of hicks who run around barefoot and marry our cousins. I wish Beth would do a show in Memphis or something, I'd love to see her. Even better, at the college I attend, ASU in Jonesboro! Ha, like that'll ever happen.
