        I saw in a health magazine the phrase "Lose your gut". I've got no idea what that means. Could you tell me more about gut/guts?


        Hints:
        Sarah
       
        英式拼法，全部不加双引号
However, we also use guts to refer to courage or bravery. If we say that someone has the guts to do something, then they have the courage to do it. For example.
Only Sarah had the guts to tell the boss that his idea was a bad idea.
This means that everyone else in the office was too scared to tell the boss he was wrong. Only Sarah had the guts to do it. In fact, we can say that the other people in the office were gutless. They did not have the courage or determination needed to talk directly to the boss.
We also talk about gut reactions or gut feelings. These are feelings you have when you are sure that you are right or correct, but you cannot give a reason for those feelings.
