nutshot

Painful testicular impact

A nutshot is a blow to the testicles, whether accidental or deliberate.

The term comes from video compilations of men getting hit in the groin—falls, sports mishaps, pranks gone wrong.

In gaming, a nutshot may refer to a crotch-area hit registering as a critical strike: I got the kill with a lucky nutshot.
