I've never caught a bollock, but I've dropped a few.

Fish lay eggs so don't get pregnant

When two fish really love each other, the daddy fish spaffs onto a stick then the mummy fish goes and wriggles around on it. Pretty much the fishy equivalent of sitting on a boys stool

a 'prat' is Old English for 'buttock' - hence the archaic term pratfall. In effect, if you call someone a prat, you're calling them an *rse.

It should be noted that the surname pratt with a double 't' has a different etymology in Scotland, where the term meant 'cunning' or 'astute'.

Prat (one 't') can indeed mean 'cunning', but it's an adjective rather than a noun. Ie, you'd be prat, rather than be a prat.

Guppies keep the eggs inside them until they hatch, they don't give birth to live babies like mammals.
