googly
From the movie The Gentlemen
A character filmed a conversation of two other characters and had it lip-read and
translated from Cantonese. But made some mistakes.
- You think you're running things, do you? Don't stroke my mouse hair.
- What does "mouse hair" mean?
- Yeah, I think what he means is don't jeopardize my deal, but I admit that one's a bit of a googly.
What googly means here?

The word googly comes from cricket and it refers to a deceptive way of bowling. The ball looks as if it is going to bounce one way but goes in the other direction.

It is hard to know exactly what is intended here without more context.

Simon's answer is correct. BUT it's not a common phrase in British English. A native-speaker could understand it from the context, but we wouldn't necessarily use it in this way.

I am familiar with the word "googly," but not the way it is used in this context. "A bit of a googly" is not something an American would say.
It sounds like something an Englishman would say. Perhaps someone from the UK can explain it.
