Do you mean scrotum? Don't get the chance to write that very often, great word scrotum.
Sorry no idea but thanks for the opportunity.

Come on, I know you guys are looking. Just answer the question.

It's not in MOT and it's not in Oikeeta Suomee.

You ask that in your first post? I wonder what's to follow

No, it's not quite that. Kivespussi(t) is the "correct" word for scrotum - but there are slang words naturally. You'd just say pallit, or maybe säkit (not sure about this?) - however I've never heard them combines as you suggested. Perhekalleudet (Family jewels) is also an often heard form, but that refers rather vaguely to the, erm, whole set of dangly bits.

kivespussi, if you want to explain the doctor what needs to be cut off...

Scrotum-tastic

...according to some (female) theories, it's also aivot.

Quite so - not in the everyday use is it

There's a ball-bouncingly funny quote though, including the very word.

"They do have one redeeming feature: their wallets. More capacious than an elephant's scrotum and just as hard to get your hands on."

This rhymes better too:
kylmää kuin kanadalaisen oravan kasseilla oleva siirappi

Ukkoahan vituttaa kuin pientä oravaa jolla on hampaat kipeät ja käpy jäässä

Yes she's currect. Kassit is another euphemism / slang word for the thing in question.

James Joyce recognised the pleasure of the word in his description of the Irish Sea:

"the snot-green sea, the scrotum-tightening sea."

(Ulysses)

Worth the price of admission for that line alone.

He also wrote that funny story, First Love.
