I have a feeling the word "bollocks" would not come up as gibberish - don't think Americans recognize it as a swear word!
Okay, I went on a walkabout and yes, I read the missing chapter, so I'm guessing the glossary of terms was there too. If it was, I may not have used it often if at all and relied on context clues from the story. I didn't have a problem understanding what he was talking about, what he was conveying to me, it was just slogging through this I'm-to-cool-for-school babble.
If someone has to stop every other word to look up the language, wow, that definitely would have taken away from the flow of the story itself.

I've never read A Clockwork Orange but thanks to the movie which I saw when I was only 14 I still occasionally call eggs "eggy weggys"
This thread triggered a memory from the past. File this under things that didn't seem weird at the time but do now.
In high school, I had a WWII history class and the teacher had us buy copies of Mein Kampf (I can't remember why). The teacher went to the local bookstore (Walden Books in the mall) and had them order a number of the books and after they came in, we went down to the mall and bought them. So, my mom drove me to the mall, we went to Walden books and bought a copy of Mein Kampf. Sounds like a normal mother/son day.
Those crazy 70s

I never thought of that, I just assumed it would get censored, different strokes I guess.
Thirteen Reasons Why challenged because it "addresses teenage suicide"? Umm, isn't that a good thing? So it should just be ignored? SMH.11 most-challenged books of 2018

Censorship makes me angry, and I'm including PC Police sanitizing older books for containing words which make them uncomfortable. My solution: if it offends you, don't read it.
I cringed at most of these titles, but yes, that one really bothered me. When it first came out and then became a Netflix series (which has since gone far past the book), folks against it were trying to say it was glamourizing suicide.

We have an old hardware store called Pollocks on Main Street here (Guess what its nickname is? at least around our house)
They have all sorts of really interesting old things you can't get in other stores (the big box stores)
Yeh, but got caught one to many times playing with my organ.
