  • 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.
