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.

He called it a minor delay — bollocks more like, they had cancelled the whole service.
Origin: Combines 'bollocks' (British vulgar slang for nonsense) with the corrective tag 'more like,' a standard colloquial structure. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
