Hi,

I didn't find an explanation for the singular form of the word in three different dictionaries and got the impression it is not part of what is generally accepted as correct English. I guess it makes sense to use the plural form only :-) Jacque was obviously right.

Best,

Mark

Bullocks are, indeed, castrated bulls (other words for
them are: steers, stirks) - but the same word spelt
with an 'O' rather than a 'U' refers to testicles.

Personally, I don't really give a "bucket of bo****ks"
what people write in their code if:

1. it works

and

2. it doesn't eat up so many processor cycles churning
through 'merry little phrases' that I am driven to cry
"Oh, bo****ks" in frustration.
