Cojones (Spanish pronunciation: koˈxones) is a vulgar Spanish word for
testicles, denoting
courage; it corresponds to balls in
United States English and bollocks in British English (an uncommon synonym for courage).
In the fourth episode of Law & Order: Special Victims
Unit a sexually-assaulted woman said she grabbed her attacker’s cojones, because he was strangling her. Afterwards, detectives Stabler and Benson re-enact the
rape, and Det. Benson says cojones,
like the rape victim.
