There is a medical distinction between “Guts” and “Balls”, according to the British military. We've heard colleagues referring to people with “Guts” or with “Balls”.
Here’s the official distinction; straight from the British Medical Journal: Volume 323; page 295.
GUTS - Is arriving home 3am, 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 3am after a night out with the lads, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the arse and having the “Balls” to say: "You're next, Chubby."
Medically speaking, there is no difference in outcome; both are fatal.

And who bought the Extended Version? Because the single version was just not repetitive enough!
