Meaning & Usage
01
"family jewels, nuts, bollocks"
An old-fashioned, almost playful word for testicles. Where 'couilles' is standard-vulgar and 'burnes' is rough, 'roubignoles' has a comical quality — the word is just too long and funny-sounding to be truly offensive. It's the 'family jewels' of French.
Examples in the Wild
'Il s'est pris un coup dans les roubignoles' — he got hit in the family jewels. Used more for comedy than for insults.
