Explaining the term "busting your balls"?

[gorgeous]

I make fun of female friend
Friend's feelings get hurt

Me: "Relax, I'm just busting your balls."
Friend: "Huh?"

At the time, I didn't really have a good way to explain it. Reads: She's from Long Island.

Me... ??? what's my line here?

After you stick it in her pooper, just tell her you're giving her a hard time.

"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.

Hmmm... some limey needs to come in here and compare this to the use of 'bollocks' and 'the dog's bollocks' or whatever the [censored] they say over there. By the way, did I use the word 'limey' right?

Cheers!
