Default Re: Explaining the term \"busting your balls\"?

some limey needs to come in here and compare this to the use of 'bollocks' and 'the dog's bollocks'

You called, Patrick?

It's pretty easy:

- "Bollocks" is a term for something that's bad, most commonly used either as an adjective.

- "Dog's bollocks" is a term for something that's excellent. (Apparently the term "the nuts" in poker comes from "the mutt's nuts", another variation of dog's bollocks).
