Nantes French - France Hello, Sorry, new vulgar thread. Not my fault, it's this TV series... A guy just watched 2 girls flirt and was hoping to take part, but was turned down. So he gets angry and shouts: I want to be balls deep in... something! And I don't care what it is. Does it literally mean have a sexual intercourse in whatever hole or is there another meaning to it? My try: Je veux tremper ma nouille dans quelque chose ! (only if literal meaning..) Thank you and sorry again for my questions... D

NYC English Atlanta, GA USA Hello, Just so that you are warned, this is going to be graphic. Literally, "balls deep" means that one's penis is completely immersed into the vagina or the anus so that one's testicles are right up against the orifice. Figurative, it means to be completely immersed, even submerged, in something to the extent that it is overwhelming or that one is over-indulging. For example, I could say "I'm balls-deep in work at the moment" which means that you are overwhelmed by the amount of work you have before you. It is quite vulgar. A

France French - France, ♀ Vu le contexte, pourquoi penser que le sens est figuré (en avoir jusque là) ? J'aimerais être enfoncé jusqu'aux couilles dans... (balls-deep est un adjectif sur le modèle "be waist-deep in water" ; ne devrait-on pas l'écrire avec un trait d'union, comme l'a fait djweverbeaver ? C

French Malgré la perte du caractère vulgaire, j'aurais peut-être traduit ça par "être sous l'eau" si on est dépassé par une charge de travail, par exemple. Mais on n'a pas le double sens du message original ci-dessus. jetset

french (du Midi de la France) Pour moi c'est plus dificile d'employer dans un sens figuré "jusqu'à la garde" que "jusqu'au cou". Je n'emploierais la première expression que pour parler de quelque chose de matériel qui s'enfonce dans autre chose, une épée ou un couteau au sens premier, un sexe peut-être au sens figuré. Tandis que "jusqu'au cou" peut être employé sans référence aucune à des objets physiques, comme quand on dit qu'on est "plongé dans les ennuis jusqu'au cou".
