AIBU - Neighbour yelling “Ballsack”

DH and I have lived here for in excess of 10 years. It’s a nice area and we get along with most of our neighbours, or at least the ones in our road that we know.

There is one house two doors down that appears to be rented out as rooms. We don’t tend to see or hear much from them, just occasionally we see a new face going in and out the gate.

We have been at home all day today, as have DD1 and DD2 (as it is the weekend). Every half hour or so, I have heard angry shouting coming from somewhere - I assume from the house with rented rooms. DH has been out to try and work out what is happening, but cannot see anything. Unfortunately our house does not overlook their garden. He says that when he’s outside all he can hear is a male voice shouting what appears to be “ballsack”.

I am concerned for the persons wellbeing, as this is not normal behaviour. DH says to ignore it, I would prefer to call the police and have them look into it as it is not sensible nor appropriate behaviour. AIBU?

The OP has clearly never heard of the 1980s game 'Bollocks', which involved shouting 'BOLLOCKS' louder than your opponent, starting with a whisper and ending in being grounded.

What can I say? The lonely weekends in 1980s Home Counties just flew by...

... and speaking of bollocks, we'll be taking this thread down now.

Oh alright, we'll leave it up for a bit.

Not saying you are a bawbag by the way xx

Pleased to hear it Awright. You wouldn't be the first though.

The word was 'SCROTUM' here in London, and had to be played in a public place. Played in the Kings Road usually - but we were posh. It obviously devolved into something a bit more basic in the Home Counties.

Haffiana I can't imagine the odd 'scrotum' turned a hair on the Kings Road, surely? We were proper rebels here in the 80s Home Counties.
