    Someone had big balls/ testicles.

    He either has big balls in the sense of being fearless or just literally has swollen testicles.

    It means his pants are way too tight.

    Mighty tighty whitey and he’s smuggling plums?

    Big balls for sure

    It’s definitely a reference to bulging testicles. But in context it is not usually a compliment. It most often means that someone has pants or shorts that are too tight and all detail can be seen. It is usually an insult or derogatory.

    He’s wearing tight pants or tighty whities that are clinging to his balls and you can see them through the material

    Usually said in derision if a guy is wearing a small tight bathing suit, because you can see the outline of his balls.

    Someone wearing a speedo or tights or some other bottoms that prominently display their stuff.

    I’ve never heard this phrase & would interpret it as someone who looks guilty I guess

    Prominently displayed balls. Tight pants or speedo type deal

    Male equivalent of “camel toe.”

    I have always interpreted it to mean a man who is dressed as a woman.

    Pants are too tight or he has the mumps.

    The common phrase for something where you can see their junk is “grape smuggler.” I’d take the use of plums instead to mean his balls were extra large.

    Pants are too tight around his testies, or they are just large.

    I would interpret this as a compliment. Smile and nod my friend

    I never heard of it so I would just think they were being sneaky but failing.

    Big ol’ balls.

    Not so much that he has big testicles, but that his pants are tight enough that his testicles are visible.

    I get that sometimes. If only someone said I looked like I was smuggling bananas as well D:

    He’s wearing something that’s just a tad too tight and looks a little ridiculous rather than flattering.

    Sounds like someone has big balls, literally, not figuratively.

    FWIW, this doesn’t translate into idiomatic American English very well. It’s not something someone would say, though it’s not that hard to interpret.

    Someone’s wearing pants so tight I could tell you his religion.

  29. Carlpanzram1916 Avatar

    It means he’s wearing really tight shorts that expose the outline of his testicles. The “smuggling plums” is referencing that he looks like he has too plums shoved into his pants.

    Big balls.

    I wouldn’t know what to think of such a statement. I would probably halfway fake laugh, then move on.

    Large balls maybe? That or chipmunk cheeks. What does it actually mean?
