    Actually "Huevos" is used as slang for "B*!]@cks" (at least in Spain anyway - I don't know about the rest of the Spanish speaking world)

        The whole expression "Los huevos del perro" or just "Huevos"? The whole expression was, as I said originally, a mixed idiomatic expression - I was mixing the "eggs" part from Spanish and the expression "The dogs b@!]*cks" from English. If it was about just "Huevos" then I'd refer you to the gay guy* who was dressed as a giant egg during the Gay Pride march in Madrid in the Summer of 2002 with the slogan that only gay men have balls/eggs. * sorry I don't mean to toy with you - but I find it quite amusing that some Spanish speakers seem to mix up the pronounciation of gay and guy. I've seen quite a few horrified expressions followed by relief when a Spanish person has said that someone is a "really great guy" (but pronounced guy as gay) before realising the pronounciation error Saludos, Colin.
