Classic British fight-game argot; means coins thrown into the ring by appreciative boxing fans who've seen a great fight (usually buried deep inside the undercard) between a couple of unfancied sluggers and want to see both men getting an extra tip for their bumps, blood and courage.
'Endswell'
A tiny iron (always kept cold) used by professional cutsmen to reduce and literally iron away swelling around the eyes, cheek bones etc. Kept on ice cold by being placed in a bucket near ringside, it is a proper 'old school' tool.
'The Family ***els'
Polite, creative expression for a boxer's genitals. Often used by Brit commentators when describing an illegal, painful low-blow. "That one has landed very low, right on the Family ***els, and we'll be having a time-out whilst the fighter recovers."
