		<description>A Brass Monkey is a rack that was used on old naval war ships to hold cannon balls.  They were made of brass to help keep the iron cannon balls from freezing to it as bad in cold weather.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s cute the way her pigtails shake under the hat. A lot of other women try to hate on her and her style. The hotforprofits girl is ripping her style but it&#039;s just good flattery.</description>

		<description>The reference to the &quot;speed governor&quot; in Marina&#039;s video of having the balls swing out at full speed is often referred to as &quot;balls out&quot; meaning &quot;full speed&quot;. &quot;balls to the wall&quot; refers to the airplane engine throttle handles, or &quot;balls&quot; being pushed to the &quot;firewall&quot;, the wal between the pilot and the engine. Hence, &quot;balls to the wall&quot;. &quot;Balls out&quot; and &quot;Balls to the wall&quot; both mean &quot;Full Speed&quot; or &quot;Max Effort&quot;.</description>

		<description>&quot;Freeze the balls off of a brass monkey&#039; refers to a temperature so cold as to freeze the private parts in question off of a brass monkey.  (If I recall correctly.)  There is another phrase used to describe extremely cold weather, &#039;As cold as a whitch&#039;s tit in a brass cup.&#039;.   :shock:  :smile:

		<description>My brother is from the great state of Michigan. Their state of mind differs from us down here in Indiana.

Anyway, I learned from him that &quot;balls to the wall&quot; apparently is when the cop slams you into the wall. Except this one guy... yeah. Hence.

But there are other expressions to this end. I only know the one: &quot;Get out without a hitch (or whatever) or the cops will bust your...&quot; yeah.</description>

		<description>Spanish women call each other &quot;hombre&quot; in conversation in every conversation; English men derogatorily call each other &quot;c*nts.&quot;

In the US, I don&#039;t think expressions like &quot;to have balls&quot; or &quot;to be ballsy&quot; are specific to men. &quot;To have balls&quot; means to be daring, or audacious, which women can certainly be too.

So, for example it makes perfect sense to say that you, Marina, must &quot;have balls&quot; to do what you are doing: putting yourself in front of the whole world to be criticized or applauded. It&#039;s a great quality in a woman--having balls, metaphorically speaking of course!

		<description>This is a funny one too! I laughed a lot at this one. More and more humor, please Marina.

Okay, here is a question: why do the British spell neighbor, color, and humor: neighbour, colour, and humour?</description>
