Did he say what I think he said?
This is a question for anyone who has the 70-685 CBT Nuggets or the CBT Nugget subscription. In the fourth video on 'Managing Software Failure Issues Part 1' about 32 minutes in the trainer Timothy Warner says you should use System Restore when malware has - quote "bolloxed up the system" 
Did he really say that or was that my imagination!?! I was just surprised to hear that being said in a CBT Nugget not that my ears started to bleed or anything!
Anybody heard anything else in a CBT that you found funny?

Most things Jeremy Cioara say are funny - that's why I love any video series he leads -

is that a cuss word in europe or something?
It's a very British saying to f-up something - it's a mild cuss word, a bit strange to hear an American say it. Even more so in formal training video! -

Is there anything which Wikipedia doesn't know - it's meaning is lost in translation a bit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollocks#Not_current_in_American_EnglishWikipedia wrote:The phrase "bollix things up", frequently misheard in the UK as "bollocks things up" appears in episodes of The Flintstones, which are frequently broadcast in the UK as part of BBC children's programming. To "bollix things up" is not considered offensive in American English. -

Yeah. It isn't something you'd say in polite conversation. I'm not bothered by it but some people would be.It's a very British saying to f-up something - it's a mild cuss word, a bit strange to hear an American say it. Even more so in formal training video! -

A coworker of mine likes to use the term "jacked-up". I think that is a good way to spread the message without using expletives.Decide what to be and go be it. -

I'm pretty sure that was Hyper-Me trying to make a joke.

Elmo: So, let me get this straight. "Bollocks" is bad, whereas "the dogs bollocks" is good, huh?
Felix: Yeah.
Felix: Oh, Bollocks!
