balls    Featured Word

adjective

adverb

interjection

noun

  • testicles.
    The baseball hit him right in the balls.

    More words meaning: testicles

    by Mia X, Nov 05 1999  (Edit definition)

  • bravado, courage; GUTS. In this sense, "balls" still means "testicles," but "having balls" implies bravado. Having large "balls" or many "balls" implies even more bravado. (The "having testicles" = "bravado" relationship exists in other languages, e.g. "tener cojones" in Spanish.)
    You've got balls to do something like that!
    That dude must have enormous balls!
    You've got a lot of balls showing your face in here.

    More words meaning: brave

notes

  • also balls to the wall.

    by Alan H., New York, NY, USA, Jul 31 1998  (Edit definition)

  • Possible etymology: The original phrase is actually hinted to in the expression "with a full head of steam". In the earliest days of steam engines, Watt style engines and their successors used a centrifugal governor to control speed. The faster the engine was to run the higher the weighted balls on the governor would rise until at full speed they were at their highest and farthest reach from the center: high or full speed was known as running "balls out".
