Should I be offended?
The head of my company just described me as 'a great GUT' in an email to a client. Exactly what is he trying to say?

4. You have great instincts!
Trust me -- it's not at all a comment on your stomach. :)

5. Just guessing, here, but . . .
I think he meant something like "intutive and decisive," as in "gut feelings."

Seems unlikely he'd be dissing you to a client (unless you're in deep doo-doo at work).
