minus-squarephutatorius@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 months ago Removing the bowels isn’t called “boweling,” but “disembowling.” But the synonymous process of removing the guts is called gutting.
minus-squarecalliope@retrolemmy.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoThat’s true, but I would argue “gut” is more colloquial. Like, to “behead” someone means to remove their head, but it’s also colloquial. Whereas decapitation is the more medical term.
