Part of the problem, as I see it, is that much if not all of this execrable managementspeak is American based. Not, of itself, an utterly bad thing, but .... they neither use nor understand the nuances of the word bo11ocks.

They use 'bollix', in a very narrow and limited manner, to wit; "to bollix something" - meaning basically to break or ruin it, but they do not use 'bo11ocks' and thus do not understand the world of meaning and subtlety between "complete ... " and "the dog's ..."
