It obviously doesn’t sound like a nice figure of speech but I’m just curious.

  • Gow a pair means
    To be brave; to show some courage, especially in a situation in which one has so far failed to do so.

  • Grow a set of testicles. Implying that you have none and as a result can’t seem to function as a male should. It’s the same as telling you to grow up and act like you have some confidence in yourself and/or to quit being a whining baby, suck it up, do what a man’s gotta do, etc. Depends on the situation other than the first two sentences.

  • Grow a pair of balls. Usually said to a guy to get him to man up and stop being a coward. It’s not nice to question ones manhood

  • It means that they are telling you to grow some balls.

  • It means to get a back bone or be brave, stand up for yourself.

  • Don’t be a chicken-**** all your life, jeez.
