Definitions
Bollocks more like is a British exclamatory phrase used to flatly contradict something just said, dismissing it as nonsense or rubbish. The structure — noun + 'more like' — is a common British conversational correction pattern ('tired more like,' 'drunk more like'). Adding 'bollocks' makes the dismissal emphatic and slightly aggressive, suitable for heated arguments or forceful scepticism. Moderately vulgar; familiar rather than deeply offensive in casual British speech.

British and Irish slang for a severe verbal dressing-down, typically from a superior to a subordinate. Getting a bollocking is considerably worse than a simple reprimand. Widely used in workplaces, the military, and sports contexts; while vulgar in origin, it has a workaday acceptability in informal British speech.
