CURIOSITIES - Pulling Balls

Hello friends of Steemit, today we continue with Venezuelan expressions, in this case we will mention a well-known one in informal slang, which is "pull balls".

It is vulgarly synonymous with exaggerated flattery and has its origin in the old jails where the prisoners wore shackles.

One person could pay another to help him carry or drag the heavy iron balls that clung to his ankles. His "jalabolas" particular.
