courage / guts

[CORALINNA]

If a man challenges another to do sth dangerous, he would say:

1) You don't have the courage.
2) You don't have the guts.

Can anyone explain the difference to me?

 

[tepatria]

Guts, in this context, is a slang word meaning courage.

 

[CORALINNA]

Ok, but do they mean exactly the same? Because the answer is 2.

 

[JamesM]

In a challenge the more forceful word would be used: guts.
