A New Word

I taught a Chinese friend a new word: which was 'bollocks,' surprisingly he didn't know what that meant and threatened to look up the meaning of it on Google. I told him not to worry - we'll think of something else but he had other ideas; when he got home that evening, he decided to try out the new word on his wife. She greeted him by asking how his day had been - to which he replied: 'bollocks!' She was surprised and asked him, 'Pardon?', This was ignored and asked other questions. 'Did you go to supermarket - he said: 'bollocks.' 'I'll slap you if you say once more,' 'bollocks.'
