- In Urdu, if you want to refer to 'balls' in a physical or anatomical sense, you would more commonly use terms like انڈے, which literally means 'eggs'.
- While گیندیں is the literal word for 'balls' in sports, using it for anatomy is a direct loan of the English slang metaphor. Native Urdu anatomical slang typically relies on different imagery entirely.
- Using گیندیں in a metaphorical sense to mean 'courage' or 'bravery' does not work in Urdu as it does in English.
