Boys is a slang euphemism for the testicles, typically used in informal contexts when a more direct term would feel either too clinical or too crude. The plural casual noun frames an intimate anatomical reference in approachable, locker-room-friendly language. Common across English-speaking countries, particularly in British and American informal speech. It is usually context-dependent: the same word 'boys' usually means male companions but in specific physical or sporting contexts can shift to this anatomical meaning.
He took a cricket ball straight to the boys and spent the next five minutes on the ground.
