2650-3.04: Guy says: "- he gives him a kick in the eggs -"

I've no idea what's going on.

In Finnish that would make perfect sense.

In Polish too.

I think it's better that that doesn't make sense, though I still understand it...

My brain read it as "kick to the testicles/nuts/groin/etc". Eggs just seemed like a rather random word for it. :lol:

Eggs... I think the same but it seems to take longer for me.

I first think of someone literally kicking eggs.

It would be the normal way to say it in German, too. Surprisingly it seems to be different in Dutch. (And English of course, but I'm used to them doing a lot of strange things.)

I'm Dutch! We say things like:

"In X's balls."
"In Y's nuts."
"On Ζ's batteries."

Of course you are. That's how I know it's different for you. :)

(Batteries? Really? ^^)
