Here is the end result of the past 2 and a half years: my dream car.

Def the Dogs Bollocks.... um, no comprede... sorry no spekenzy! Definitely the dogs balls. Crazy British way of saying, "That car is the cat's ass!!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Holy crap! I thought my car was just publicly slammed but then I read this: Dog's bollocks Meaning Excellent - the absolute apex. In other contexts the word bollocks (meaning testicles) has a negative connotation. For example: - 'that's bollocks' -> 'that's rubbish' - 'give him a bollocking' -> 'chastise him' - 'He dropped a bollock' -> 'he made a mistake' The reasons why the 'dog's bollocks' are considered to be the top of the tree aren't clear. It may be linked to an associated phrase - 'stand out like a dog's balls', i.e. 'outstanding', although I can find no evidence to indicate that phrase as being earlier than the 'dog's bollocks'. Dogs do enjoy licking their genitals of course but again, there's no evidence that links the coining of this phrase to that. It is most likely that this is just a nonsense phrase, coined because it sounds good. In that, it would join a long list of earlier nonsense phrases, e.g. 'the cat's pyjamas', 'the bee's knees' etc. I hope that is what he meant! I am obviously behind in my English slang. |

The reasons why the 'dog's bollocks' are considered to be the top of the tree aren't clear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Some things are not meant to be fully understood. I don't really get how "the cat's ass" translates into something being really cool either. But regardless, your car is the dog's bollocks AND the cat's ass.
