Balls, Guts and Bones

Isn’t language a strange thing?
You know the way people say things like That car cost the guts of fifty grand. And then someone else will tell you, No. It cost the bones of seventy.
Guts or bones. What’s the difference? They’ll never tell you it cost the lungs of fifty grand. See that fuckin house? Worked all my life for it, and it set me back the arse of a million. Cost me the liver of ten grand just to paint it.
Then you’ll hear people talking about the guy who tackled the bank robbers. Jesus, that took some guts.
Yeah. He had real balls.
Guts and balls, but not ankles. Not kidneys.
It took real eyebrows to fight Mike Tyson.
Balls equals guts, and guts equals bones, and therefore you’d imagine that balls equals bones, but no. Not at all.
Did you ever hear anyone saying That car cost the balls of fifty grand.
Bones or balls. Why not?
Isn’t language strange?
And people say “I live the bones of him” But never love the balls of him.
I’ve never heard any of these sayings, but I think it’s a scientifically proven fact that the pancreas is the funniest of all the human organs.
Just sayin’.
KB — Definitely not.
Poobah — Yeah. The humerus doesn’t really count as an organ.
here’s my theory, bock~
it’s because it took all the balls the car
manufacturer could get his hands on (so to speak) in order to entice the car buyer into
into spending 50 or 70 grand worth of guts and bones… on transportation.
don’t forget about “tearing the arse” out of something.
but boner and balls can also be in the same sentence on occassion
ie I went to a meat boner and asked for some marrow, he said no marrow but I have sheep’s balls,
The Law: Lowering the Bar, as ever.
you can make a balls of something,which is a bad thing.
then you can use these ball in an act of bravery, a good thing.
But can you make a guts of something?
no but you can have the guts of something,now I need to lay down
