Re: pillock
Bit regional this one, I am somewhat fond of it though. My understanding was always that it referred to a male equipped with a single testicle, though I am not sure where that came from.
In general though you may use this to describe someone who commits a minor folly.

Re: pillock
Would that perhaps be "pillory?"Doesn't this word also have a use as a verb?
