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).

(ed: this one I'm embarrassed to say I had to ask the meaning for... obvious once you know of course... but I've added Scott's explanation almost verbatim - d'oh!) I discovered this bit of slang, or more precisely, this acronym while perusing through my 13 year-old's school annual. A considerable number of well wishes from his school chums ended with the letters H A G S. At first glance (and primarily due to poor penmanship), I thought it read, HUGS. It was only upon close examination and the concern on my part that some of these year end messages were from his male friends, that I realized that the letters were in fact, H A G S. Could this possibly mean that all these sentiments were from less than attractive young ladies? Confused, I resorted to a most heinous act...I asked my son what it meant. After enduring the " I can't believe your asking me this, rolling the eyeballs to the heavens" pre-teen stare, he replied simply, "H ave A G reat S ummer." (ed: see what I mean?)

A Burman measure of twelve miles. V () V, the twenty-second letter of the English alphabet, is a vocal consonant. V and U are only varieties of the same character, U being the cursive form, while V is better adapted for engraving, as in stone. The two letters were formerly used indiscriminately, and till a comparatively recent date words containing them were often classed together in dictionaries and other books of reference (see U). The letter V is from the Latin alphabet, where it was used both as a consonant (about like English w) and as a vowel. The Latin derives it from it from a form (V) of the Greek vowel / (see Y), this Greek letter being either from the same Semitic letter as the digamma F (see F), or else added by the Greeks to the alphabet which they took from the Semitic. Etymologically v is most nearly related to u, w, f, b, p; as in vine, wine; avoirdupois, habit, have; safe, save; trover, troubadour, trope. See U, F, etc.

The true primary vowel sound of U, in Anglo-Saxon, was the sound which it still retains in most of the languages of Europe, that of long oo, as in tool, and short oo, as in wood, answering to the French ou in tour.
