Looking for slang
Hi again!
I would highly appreciate if you could help me in finding slang for a similar stuff in Spanish (¡Ese tipo tiene tremendas agallas!) which we used when we are characterizing a person who is both too ambitious and does not care to trample people, work mates, etc in order to achieve what he wants; or is that kind of person who is able to tell people, his boss or authorities, what he feels and thinks even if those feelings are unpleasant to the listeners.
Thank you in advance,
Eladio

- In less genteel language, you might hear "he has *****".
- A popular term nowadays is one that is also used in some Spanish-speaking locales: has cajones.

Philip, thank you for correcting my English. Yes we say that, but just one thing I will say for this is that slang is too rude, and is used in very limited situations and locales. By the way, we say cojones
