to any Americans, does the word "bollocking" ever get

I have never in my life heard that word before, it doesn't even sound real. Coming from an average Amerifat

Ive heard the word bollucks used on some british tv show or something like that before but i always thought it meant something like 'bullshit'. I doubt Americans would understand what you meant in that context but they would think it was very British of you to say that.

It's British slang, virtually unknown to Americans.

(If any Yanks are curious, it means something like "getting reamed", as when a boss really yells at you for screwing something up.

bollocks
ˈbɒləks/
noun BRITISH vulgar slang
1. the testicles.
2. nonsense; rubbish (used to express contempt or disagreement, or as an exclamation of annoyance).

Yes my friend in America it translates over a little different "cockblocking" is how we spell it it's used when a person stops another person from getting dick. " Man you cock blocking" usually men use it but women can use it also.

I treat it more on the level of "fuck". as in: aw fuck, I forgot about that thing today!

extremely british, never heard an american use it. I'd guess that "he got an absolute bollocking" meant "he got his ass kicked".

Eurofag here, I've never heard Americans use the word bollocks, only Brits. Of course I'm talking about various forms of online content here, but I doubt it's a common word among Americans anyway

Nope. It means the same as "chewed out", i.e. harshly reprimanded/yelled at

Its obvious in context usually OP, so i wouldnt worry about it

Pacific NW anon here. No we don't use it or really much similar to it, and while I can't guarantee for everyone else, I personally would've inferred what you meant. The context seems simple enough to reason out

I only know it cause I watch British comedy
