I heard the term jewels used as a slang term for testicles. I believe that should be included in the definitions as the slang meanings for balls and skank are also included. Tydoni 16:16, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

That would be family jewels; where did you see the shorter form? Equinox 16:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
Having googled "kick in the jewels", I am convinced. Added a citation! Equinox 16:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Vs jewelry

[edit]

The word jewelry is a non-count noun in English, and does not have a plural form. We speak of articles/pieces of jewelry, as rings, bracelets, or necklaces https://www.wordreference.com/definition/jewelry --Backinstadiums (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
