This is the third time today I have read "cajones."

It is "cojones."

You might as well be saying "bells" instead of "balls"--like saying. "they have got us by the bells" (or bills, or bolls, or bulls).

You are saying, "They have got us by the dresser drawers."

EDIT :

cajones

Spanish for "drawers" (as in, the kind in a dresser or desk). This word is often confused by non-Spanish speakers with cojones (note the different vowel sound), which is Spanish slang for balls, but they are in fact two very different words.
