Well it's because 90% of the population has their head in the gutter 90% of the time!!

It's like the word 'gay'. A century ago it meant just a happy time. Now it means homosexual. Words meanings do change over time, but sadly into perverse meanings.

LOL I love confusing people when I reply "Yes, I bet they are very happy." when someone says Gay in a derogatory way.
And in England a Fag is a cigarette or a bundle of sticks for firewood kindling. XD
I love being a medievalist, I know alot of old English terms and how to use them properly.

I remember around 98/99 I was chatting online on mIRC in an international chatroom and a couple of members were Brits. I nearly fell out of my chair in disbelief when one of them wrote, "I went to town today and bought some fags." I was like WTF?!?! They explained it to me and I nearly died laughing.

I have spoken to some Brits and I have never heard them call the police bobbies. I have heard most of the other terms though.

I learned most of this stuff during the awful Spice Girls era in the 90s!

Bollocks usually refers to a dog's balls. In slang its the equivalent of "It's shit". Or so I think.
