I can confirm that "bollocks" is one of our favourites. It's so diverse, I'm not sure how you do without it.

Whether you want to express extreme disappointment (usually in a sticky situation of one's own making), dismiss a questionable / clearly false statement or just need a word to say while burping, "bollocks" has (have?) you covered.

As a side note, if you're ever working with a Brit and make a disastrous mistake just tell them you completely bollocksed it up. They will likely forgive you on the spot and / or help you fix it.
