What is the origin of freeze the balls off a brass monkey?
The phrase "freeze the balls off a brass monkey" is believed to originate from naval terminology in the 19th century. A "brass monkey" referred to a brass frame used to hold cannonballs on a ship, and in cold weather, the metal would contract, causing the balls to fall off. The expression humorously illustrates extreme cold by suggesting it could cause such an unusual event. However, its exact origin remains somewhat anecdotal and debated.

No. Never heard of such. Gold and Lead have a lot of the same metal properties so it could work. They both have about same density. It would be very expensive ammunition. I don't think there were Brass cannon balls either. The guns were made of brass but not the balls.

What is the origin of cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey?
In the old days when ships had cannons on board, the cannon balls would be kept on a brass plate with indentations in it to rest the lead cannon balls in. They would be then piled up in a pyramid on this plate, the plate was called a brass monkey. When it got really cold the plate would contract at a different rate to the balls and they would fall off. Hence the phrase - "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey". The above appears to be an erroneous answer.
