Breaking/Busting My Balls. Urologist Question on Proper Slang

[Urohawk]

I helped make dinner and frankly it was pretty mediocre. I wasn't super happy with the result and I made some comment about how it wasn't good. This is why I let my chef cook most meals. My 13 year old son pipes up and says, "Dad it's not like you were breaking your balls over making dinner." First, I chastised him for being thirteen and thinking this was a appropriate thing to say. My wife didn't think it was that big of deal. To which I asked, "Would you ok to have him tell someone to stop being a pvssy?" She answered that they weren't the same thing which I disagreed with. Then I told my son it was used completely incorrectly.

Breaking my balls is being annoying and repetitive over something, as in, "Stop breaking my balls".

My son responded that was wrong and said breaking my balls refers to hard work, as in, "I'm out here in the hot sun working on the road, breaking my balls!"

So HBOT, which one is it?

I always thought of it as fvcking with someone.

You’ve confused balls with chops.

Vulgar slang To exert oneself to the utmost degree; to put forth the maximum amount of effort or strain. "Balls" is slang for the testicles, so the phrase in every meaning is usually (but not solely) said of or by a man. I've been breaking my balls trying to get the new software ready by the release date.

idiom. : to criticize someone in a playful way : tease. My brother likes to bust my chops.

I think 13 years old is when most
kids like to start trying out their adult humor.
