So what does (dog's) bollocks mean?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's named that after some motorbike engine from the 50s in England, that had a movement that looked like a terrier's bollocks when it was shagging. This bike was considered the best one, so the slang for the best engine became the slang for all things top of their field/subject/category.

PS. It's contracted both ways in England. 'The Bollocks' is fine, as is 'The Dogs'

Here ends this week's lesson on the Niceties of the English.
