"balls, nuts"

A vulgar synonym for testicles, slightly cruder than 'couilles.' 'Casser les burnes' (to break the balls) means to annoy someone intensely. 'Avoir des burnes' means to have guts. Same metaphorical range as 'couilles' but with a rougher edge.

'Tu me casses les burnes' β€” you're busting my balls. 'Il a des burnes en acier' β€” he has steel balls (he's fearless).
