जिगरा या दमखम


Explanation:
जिगरा या दमखम का उपयोग किया जा सकता है। लेकिन इस अंग्रेजी मुहावरे का प्रयोग थोड़ी सावधानी के साथ किए जाने की आवश्यकता है, क्योंकि ऐसी भाषा में विनम्रता की कमी है। नाटक या सिनेमा में कोई अहंकारी सैनिक अधिकारी इस तरह की भाषा का प्रयोग करता है। खासकर ऐसा माना जाता है कि महिलाओं को इस भाषा का प्रयोग नहीं करना चाहिए। महिलाओं को दूसरी तरह के वाक्यांशों का प्रयोग करना चाहिए जिनमें बॉल शब्द का इस्तेमाल नहीं होता:

That took balls -- That took gumption
That was ballsy -- That was sure brave
Do you have the balls...? -- Do you have the guts...? (Are you brave enough...?
He's sure got balls -- He has a lot of nerve

शायद हिंदी अनुवाद में भी यह जानकारी उपयोगी साबित होगी।
