One of those words that has a bicultural meaning for me. My inner-Canadian thinks, 'caught fish, sliced down the middle, roe and other weird stuff fall out, etc.' My inner-almost-Briton thinks, 'very upset.'
Yesterday, I received back a gift that I gave to someone. A gift that represented affection and good memories. To open a package and see that gift returned, I can say that I felt gutted. I felt like 'caught fish, sliced down the middle, roe and other weird stuff fall out, etc.' Completely eviscerated.
How very Canadian I am.
Bloody hell, Marnie.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very sad Marnie.
ReplyDeleteBeing gutted though does feel like a punch in the guts, followed by someone pulling them out.

With some perspective, I don't think the gift 'send back' was as mean spirited as it felt. I suspect it might have been a mistake. It still bites though.
