all-city 

Word used to describe a graffiti writer who achieves the status of king in a city or region. Typically prolific in terms of tags, throw-ups AND pieces. May also be known for stencils, wheat pasting or other guerilla tactics. All-city status is most often temporary as writers can only reign the streets for so long before they are repeatedly arrested, become increasingly involved in a more above-ground arts community or move on to other hobbies/retire. Derived from the term all-star. Can also refer to a group of writers (unlike king).
In the summer of 97' Perl was all-city for sure. He had tags from the lay-ups to the lunchlines and burners at all the spots.

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.
