GUTS [SLANG]

Wednesday, January 03, 2007

Guts is slang for: intestinal fortitude, heart, spirit, nerve, spunk pluck, grit, stamina, toughness, and my favorite—backbone.

Today we live in a “namby-pamby” world. We don’t have the guts (backbone) to get the job done.

We let our children “rule the roost.” We refuse to defeat a small army because we lack the intestinal fortitude or heart. We won’t punish those who commit horrible crimes against society. We refuse to fire people who can’t or won’t get the job done. We never say, “No” to bullies.

We allow all of this in the name of kindness and politeness and yet we are the rudest, crudest generation since the beginning of time. We are so ultra-pious it’s sickening.

“WE ARE SO HEAVENLY MINDED WE ARE NO EARTHLY GOOD!”
