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" Mike |

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!". -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

Here's a very good visual description of "Bugger". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbBx4Ql6Umo On 3/4/2018 4:15 AM, Kiwi User wrote: On Sat, 03 Mar 2018 17:01:20 -0800, SoaringXCellence wrote: I think the intended word/phrase should have been "bollix up".
