Funny but true story. My job relocated me from California (San Jose) to New York (downstate, Hudson Valley) in 1995.
One day coming out of a meeting where I was in rather passionate disagreement about an objective, one of my superiors said to me, "Why are you bustin' my balls?".
I had never heard this expression, being from California and all.
My response? I was confused by this and said with that native Californian tone of irony, "Umm... I had and have no intention of doing anything whatsoever with your... ahem.. balls".
