steel balls
Shiny metallic orbs
Steel balls are small spheres made of hardened steel, used in ball bearings, ammunition (as in slingshots or BB guns), and industrial applications like grinding or polishing.
Figuratively, steel balls describes bold courage or audacity—a slightly cleaned-up version of "balls" meaning testicles: It takes steel balls to stand up to the boss like that.
