They guy(s) on the left' date=' clad in yellow is / are called a Shmoo. I think It's a Little Abner cartoon character brought in when the story line got a bit tedius after Abner and Daisy Mae got hitched.

brass balls

 

Contrary to its recent misuse as a euphemism for audacity or courage, to have "brass balls" actually means to drive a hard bargain and to refuse to sell for less than what you ask for.

 

The term dates back to the days when pawn shop brokers would traditionally hang three brass balls outside their shop doors to indicate their services.

You mean to tell me that this guitar is only worth $15? You've got some real brass balls on you!

Always happy to have a man like you on my back. I'd always watch yours. Show them what a good pipe fitter can do with a piece of pipe.

 

I'm a powerhouse mechanic. I rebuild large capacity air compressors 1250hp, 6000cfm @110psi and 2250 ton chillers that take 55 degree F water and chill it to 43 degrees F @ 3400 gal/min.. And associated piping and pumps and cooling towers, etc. etc.. I do occasionally do pipe fitter work, but I'd rather stick with the mechanics when possible.
