We have all heard someone refer to a fellow male as, "Man, he's got guts." Or, perhaps the reference may have been:
"That guy has some set of balls on him." I have always wondered what determines if a guy has balls, or if he has guts.
While these two examples may not clarify the differences for you, hopefully they will provide some insight as to the difficulty of providing a precise and accurate definition and delineation. Perhaps you cannot have one without the other,and they are one and the same, although anatomically located in different areas of the body.
Guts - is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"
Balls - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You're next."
