blue ball

Sad colored orb

Blue ball most often appears in the plural as blue balls, slang for the dull ache in the testicles from prolonged sexual arousal without release.

The term extends figuratively to any state of frustrated anticipation: I've been waiting so long for this album to drop, I've got blue balls.

Literally, a blue ball is simply a ball that is blue.
