Etymology
The word 'bullocks' has Old English origins, derived from the Old English words 'bula' (bull) and 'ox' (oxen). It has been used for centuries to refer to young castrated bulls. In British slang, the term 'bullocks' took on a different meaning, representing disbelief or disappointment. The word has evolved over time to carry both literal and figurative connotations.
