"Pullin' a Powell" is a slang term used to describe the act of twisting one's testicles, often resulting in testicular torsion, a medical emergency that occurs when a testicle rotates, twisting the spermatic cord that supplies blood to the scrotum.
Legend has it that the term originated from a guy named Powell, who apparently had the unfortunate luck of experiencing testicular torsion a whopping 144 times.
Now, we're not entirely sure if this story is true or just an urban legend, but one thing is for sure - the term "Pullin' a Powell" has caught on in certain circles. It's become a shorthand way to describe that excruciating moment when your testicles take a wrong turn and end up twisted like a pretzel.
Symptoms of testicular torsion usually develop suddenly and can include:
Severe pain in the scrotum
Swelling of the scrotum
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Testicle that is higher than usual or in an abnormal position
Pain in the lower abdomen or groin
Imagine you're playing a game of basketball with your friends. You go up for a layup, but as you come down, you accidentally land on your own foot and twist your ankle. You collapse to the ground in pain, clutching your foot.
Your friend comes over to check on you. "Dude, are you okay?" he asks.
You grimace and shake your head. "No man, I think I just sprained my ankle."
"Ouch, that sucks," your friend says sympathetically. "But at least you're not Pullin' a Powell."
You give him a confused look. "Pullin' a Powell? What's that?"
"Ha, you know, when you twist your balls. Like that guy Powell who supposedly did it 144 times."
You can't help but laugh, even though you're still in pain. "Oh man, I don't think I could handle that. I'll stick to sprained ankles, thanks."
Your friend chuckles. "Yeah, probably a good call. But seriously, you should ice that ankle and elevate it. And if it doesn't get better, go see a doctor."
You nod in agreement. "Thanks man, I appreciate it."
And with that, you limp off the court, grateful that you're not Pullin' a Powell.
Essentially its when you twist your bollocks.
The term "Pulling a Powell" derives from a man who once underwent testicular torsion 144 times.
Weather the story is true on not is not clear.
