      DIY DELIGHTS

      Taylin Clavelli

      I LOVE the word bollocks. It can be used in so many situations. For instance:

      Accident: Bollocks! Mike, I broke a plate.

      Frustration: Bollocks! Fuckin’ thing’s not working—again.

      Wonder: Bollocks! Look at the size of that! Isn’t the Grand Canyon deep?

      In later teen years, it was my parents who used the word, mostly. Mum and Dad were stoked I was
