Also, today I encountered a HP sex scene in which the writer evidently meant "bollocks," but what she actually wrote was "bullocks."

It's quite a limber man who can have not just one but two bullocks between his legs.

I read that one. Nothing like livestock to dampen a mood.

I mean, on the one hand you know it's probably what a friend of mine calls "a spill chicken error" (i.e. an American spell checker might very well flag the correct word and suggest the wrong one as a "correction"), but on the other hand, bullocks! Can't ... stop ... laughing ...

Moo!

Nora Roberts did that in a novel of hers I read once -- that is, used "Bullocks!" as an expletive put into the mouth of an Irish character. Your mental image is a lot better, though. ;)
