This term is predominantly used in informal or colloquial registers. When referring to internal organs, it carries a visceral, raw connotation and is often considered less polite or more graphic than "intestines" or "viscera."
In the context of courage, the word functions as a mass noun despite its plural form. It describes a gritty, instinctive kind of bravery rather than a formal or disciplined courage. Because it is used as a collective singular in this sense, it is common to hear phrases like "it takes guts" rather than "it takes gutses."
