    That's a slightly vulgar variation of the proverb " Плохому танцору ноги мешают/У плохого танцора ноги виноваты" = "a bad workman quarrels with his tools" (about a man who blames circumstances or other people for his own mistakes).

    "Ноги" in this variation were substituted with another part of the human anatomy.
    (яйца = balls)

    well, my guess would be:

    A bad dancer blames the balls...

    This is more like a colloquial, spoken language useful for a conversation...

    A bad dancer blames his shoes.... (or balls, if you will). The point is that when you can't translate something into another language, then borrow it

    that is a hell of an aforism:

    If you can't translate something into another language, - borrow it!

    Thanks :P
