Yesterday I had to clean up a lot of cat vomit.
Our system for giving worm tablets to the cats is to put out two bowls
of tuna, to attract them, and then setting them down in front of the
bowls once they have swallowed the pill that we have pushed down their
throat. But one cat ran away after getting his pill.
The vomit was partly Basil's fault, for running away and letting Sybil
steal his share of the tuna. But it was even more Sybil's fault, for
being such a guts.
English usage question: does "being such a guts" travel?
