ball-buster

== English == === Alternative forms === ballbuster === Etymology === Unknown. By surface analysis, ball +‎ buster. Possibly derived from Yiddish בעל־הביתטע (baleboste, “mistress, lady of the house”), in which case synonyms like ball-breaker and ball-wracker may be secondary derivations. See also Beelzebub for connotations of the same supposed first element. Any deverbal formation conflated with back-breaking may have reinforced the native development. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.) === Noun === ball-buster (plural ball-busters) (US, vulgar) Synonym of ball-breaker. === References === === Anagrams === bullet bras
