I went with Jeff and Dave, who was really quiet, so when I got the beers in, I asked, like, 'who died?!' It turns out, his wife's on the way out, you know, so I'd really dropped a bollock, but Dave said he was okay. He doesn't have the bollocks to say anything else; never has, but I knew Jeff would give me a right bollocking later on. We had a few pints and this dog's bollocks pie - we didn't get too bollocksed or anything, just a bit tipsy, you know. We went back into the office and my PC was up-and-running with that document intact, which bollocksed me a bit, but it's better than a kick in the bollocks, I suppose. So, I went home, got in the shower and noticed a rash on my bollocks, shit me up, that did. I came out to show Sam only to find Sam's mum sat there with a cup of tea, staring at me, bollock naked and dripping on the carpet. 'Bollocks,' I thought..."

Goth Blocked

When seeing a group of one or more goth people prevents you from carrying out your intended activity. Somehow seeing these black clad punks (who usually turn out to be pretty nice people) is enough to deter you from your intended path or destination and so you wander elsewhere to avoid feeling awkward because you are too scared to walk past them, thinking that they might attack you with their shiny pants and throw tubes of black eyeliner at you.

DISCLAIMER: I did not make up "goth blocked" I saw it on a youtube video and thought it would be a worthy addition to Urban Dictionary. Don't sue me!!!! All originality of this phrase I credit to TheRealParis (youtube name). Don't hate me Paris. <3
Dude, I was running a slew of errands and I was going to walk into Target but there were these Goths hanging out right in the entrance so I didn't go in.
