Surface Forms

bollocks singular
bollocks plural

Morphology

bollocks = bollock (opaque) = bollock + s

Although formally formed from 'bollock' + plural '-s', the slang sense 'nonsense' is a figurative extension from the anatomical meaning and cannot be reliably derived by an average learner.

Etymology

Bollocks was originally a rude word for 'testicles' and comes from an old idea of a small round 'ball', like the simple word ball. That's why people use bollocks to call something 'nonsense' or 'rubbish' — it became a strong, crude way to say something is not true or not worth taking seriously.
