It's not a commonly-used phrase. I recall hearing it used in a couple of contexts. 1) to describe an especially furry puppy or dog: "oh, look at that little furball! he's so cute" 2) to describe a ball of fur, perhaps one caught in a dog or person's throat. "my dog keeps coughing - I think he has a furball caught in his throat."

^^^ only thing I would add is that dogs don't usually have fur balls in their throats, that's usually cats.

@Jet_064 I'm sure they mean that the person has especially hairy underarms, but it's not a phrase I've heard used in that context.

"Fur" is hair from an animal. A furball is a ball made of fur. Some animals, like cats, will vomit furballs. Some people will call their pets "furballs."
"This dog is a little furball." "My cat needs medicine for her furballs."
