There is a medical distinction between “guts” and “balls”.

We've heard colleagues referring to people with “guts”, or with “balls”.

Do they, however, know the difference between them?

Here’s the official distinction; straight from the British Medical Journal:

Volume 323; page 295.



GUTS - Is arriving home late, after a night out with the lads, being met 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 lads, smelling of

perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the bum and

having the “balls” to say: 'You're next, Chubby.'



I trust this clears up any confusion.



Medically speaking, there is no difference in outcome; both are fatal.
