GET UP THE BALLS

0Dear Teachers,02br
02br
001. The good news is that women almost always drop the "ice queen" act if you get up the balls to approach them, as they'll be very surprised that you did so.02br
02br
00- What does "get up the balls" mean here?02br
02br
002. You must become her friend first before you can get her in the sack.02br
02br
00- "get her in the sack" means "get her to sleep with you", right?02br
02br
00Thanks very much to Teachers,02br

0 Good try, Inch, but "get/set/start the ball rolling" is not the same expression as "get up/have the ***** to do something". 02br
00 "Get the ball rolling" is a harmless, always acceptable expression (with the meaning you noted).02br
00"Get up/have the ***** to do something" is more vulgar: the word '*****' is a reference to a certain part of the male anatomy.05
