oof, in that case you're now breaking my balls in a subtle way haha

_[I should have immediately asked Urban Dictionary](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=breaking+my+balls)_

Your first thought was accurate:)
Lots of US people of my generation (old) use that expression. I don't hear it as much anymore.

[Now you need to help me out](https://stacker.news/items/373375). What is "ball breaking"? I only found references to baseball. The first thing that I was thinking of was a very painful thing haha

_maybe you meant exactly "ball breaking" as in baseball, just applied to my comments in some way 👀_
