Hanging ten on a southern surfboard 

Going to the swamp, and "surfing" on a gator with your toes hanging near the gator's mouth.
Bob: Hey, buddy! How was your weekend?
Buddy: Oh, you know. Just hanging ten on a southern surfboard.
Bob: Damn. How many toes did you lose?
Buddy: surprisingly, only 2. Garry Gator is getting used to me.

hanging ten 

Originated from the surfing culture to refer to the act of hanging all ten toes off the front of a long board while surfing a wave.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
