When someone does something that's very brave, or at least very risky, it is said that they have Brass Balls, even if they are female. No reason has ever been given for why brass balls are either braver or more foolish than meatballs or billiard balls or... any kind of ball at all, really.note It's probably some sort of odd metaphor involving the term "brazen." The balls part we get, though. Evidently there is a direct correlation between them and boldness. Apparently it originated from pawnshops (with their distinctive brass balls hanging outside) where sellers would drive a hard bargain. Elemental Crafting may come into play; superior to brass balls are balls of iron, beaten out only by balls of steel. See Testosterone Poisoning for more information. Not to be confused with Balls of Steel, where one has balls tough enough to withstand a Groin Attack. |

In a Shadow of Rome your character fights as a gladiator. When entering the fight, he's presented with a choice of a weapon - sword, mace, or such. Picking none allows you to enter the arena bare-handed and earn the in-game "Big Roman Balls" achievement. | |

Many characters from ||One Piece]] are noted for their guts and determination, but few can hold a candle to Jinbei who went to Big Mom, an Emperor of the Sea whose power allow her to steal years from the lifespan of people who are afraid of her (supposedely everyone given how monstrously powerful and insane she is) and told to her face that he was quitting her crew to join Luffy's, declaring him in the same breath as the future Pirate King. The fact that she wasn't able to steal a single second of his life means that he meant every single word and even Big Mom herself was shaken. | |

Warhammer 40,000 One common saying (in fanon) about the Imperial Guard (the Red Shirt Army of the Imperium) is that on the first day, each recruit will be facing hordes of alien killing machines and Eldritch Abominations and is handed little more than a T-shirt (flak jacket), flashlight (a lasgun, one of the weakest possible weaponsnote in 40k, that means it can "only" dismember an unarmored target in one hit), and a wheelbarrow for their pair of Mars forged titanium plated balls. Even the women. Especially the women. Ollianus Pius, the guy who faced Horus (read: Satan) with nothing but the aforementioned T-shirt and flashlight, is generally referred to as having Mars-grade adamantium balls. He died, yes, but what a death it was. Except then he got ret-conned out of existence. And now he's back, but Depending on the Writer he was a Space Marine, a Custodes (what a Space Marine is to a standard human, a Custodes is to a Space Marine), or a subtype of human who returns from all injuries including death. |

There's a great scene in L.A. Story where Harris (Steve Martin) is walking on the beach with arrogant bastard Roland (Richard E. Grant) and there's this metallic clanging noise. Harris asks what it is and Roland says, "It's a nuisance. It's my damn testicles." | |

There is a character that literally has this as a last name in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, although this is rather ironic given his Ambulance Chaser and Dirty Coward tendencies as elaborated in his interviews concerning the riots in Gotham City. | |

Poker. Sometimes poker players will make bold plays others would not make, such as pushing in all their chips to make it look like they are confident enough in their hand so nobody else would call them. And there are others who would call them, either because they feel the "all-in" player was betting with no good hand at all, or they feel they've got an even better hand than the good hand of the all-in player. The Brass Balls comparisons can come here, especially when an all-in poker player makes a hand on the last card that beats the hand of the calling player (mainly because they would have lost if that last card hadn't saved them). Even you having the best hand (known as "the nuts") might not stop you from losing that way (in which they say your hand has "been cracked"). In poker, even Brass Balls can be broken in dramatic ways. |

Law & Order: UK. CP James Steel is badgering the cops about evidence that went missing from a case he prosecuted several years ago that resulted in an innocent man going to prison. After hemming and hawing for a few minutes, he finally asks point blank if Ronnie mishandled the evidence. Incensed at the accusation, Ronnie's partner Matt snaps, "I can't believe you just asked that. Well, you've got balls, I'll give you that much." A nicer version in another episode where Matt is commending a young witness for testifying against a London Gangster—"What you did in there took balls." |
