I think the intended word/phrase should have been "bollix up". As
defined below:

Merriam Webster defines bollix as "to throw into disorder; also :
bungle"

Jim is right about common British usage of the word, which is spelt
'********'. It is a universal word, usually used in male company, that
can mean a lot of things, all of them signalling disappointment or worse.
For example "******** to that!" means "That's a stupid idea", "Oh
********", said in a disappointed tone, that something unexpectedly went
wrong and just plain "********!" is the same as a heartfelt "Dammit!" or
"Bugger!".
