I hear "to break balls" as to harass or make of someone for something
they've done or some specific thing about them. "stop breaking my balls" or
"I'm just busting your balls"

Kemper:
There's a subtle difference.
Arduous or monotonous work is ballbreaking.  
To break someone's balls is to demand of them to perform a real or perceived
ballbreaking task generally at a time of their inconvenience. (<---That's an
ugly sentence, but I hope it's understood!) 
Ball-breakers are taskmasters.
