Default Guts vs. Balls

To those of you who are nit-pickers about the meaning of words: there is a medical distinction between Guts and Balls. We've all heard about people having Guts or Balls, but do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, here are the definitions:

GUTS - is arriving home late, after a night out with the guys, 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 guys, smelling of perfume and beer, with lipstick on your collar, and slapping your wife on the butt and having the balls to say "You're next, chubby."

I still don't see the difference in definition. You can switch those two and they'd still work just as well.

Not only did I re-read it, but I analyzed and deciphered each sentence, and still don't get it.

BALLS - is arriving home late, after a night out with the guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the balls to ask "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

GUTS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, with lipstick on your collar, and slapping your wife on the butt and having the guts to say "You're next, chubby."
To me, both of those are interchangeable.

It seems as if guts is more like being able to stand up for yourself with confidence through hardship. Balls seems to be that you're willing to do whatever you please, even if it means defying norms and authority.

By that clarification, another example of guts would be: telling your teacher he was wrong to have given another student the better grade for their less impressive work. Having balls in that instance would be to tell your teacher to fk off because he's a pervert who gave the other student a better grade to solicit a bj.
