Re: Explaining the term \"busting your balls\"?
I don't know why I'm seriously replying to this, maybe I have too much time. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

"Busting your balls" is context-dependent.
Your boss "busts your balls" when he gives you more work to do, or wants work done faster, etc. This is negative connotation.
However, you can "bust your friend's balls" by doing something in jest that causes them minor inconvenience, etc.
So there's friendly ball-busting, and then out-and-out testicular carnage.
I recommend sticking to the friendly-type.
