glass balls

Transparent decorative spheres

Glass balls are spheres made of glass, used decoratively, in games like marbles, or as fishing floats.

The phrase also serves as a euphemism for testicles, particularly in expressions about vulnerability or courage: He doesn't have the glass balls to say that to my face.

Someone juggling glass balls is handling delicate matters that can't be dropped without consequence.
