In México testicles can be named "eggs" in a colloquial form. So, if you call "bolillo" some male, you can be laughing or offending him, take care. But it is not common to call someone "bolillo". The use of "huevos", instead, is direct and very popular between kids, teenagers, old people... A rude word out of the kitchen, even many people say "blanquillos" to avoid "huevos, hahahaha, but you know, every euphemism is "un cuchillo de doble filo".Elisa A.
