(slang) courageous, brave.
Slang for someone who displays extraordinary courage, audacity, or nerve — a more emphatic spin on 'brass balls,' itself a way of saying someone has the boldness of metal where softer people might flinch. A brass-balled move is one that requires either tremendous bravery or a spectacular disregard for consequences. It's admiring in tone, though crude in delivery, and typically reserved for acts of genuine daring rather than mere recklessness.
(uncountable, vulgar, colloquial) Masculinity, particularly strength, courage, and force of will; chutzpah; brazenness.
