Gutful

A gutful (also spelled gut-full) is a colloquial term, primarily used in Australia and New Zealand, referring to a state of being fed up, disgusted, or having reached one's limit of tolerance with something or someone. It implies a strong sense of exasperation, annoyance, and a desire to disengage or retaliate.

The term typically denotes a feeling beyond simple irritation. It suggests a deep-seated weariness and resentment towards the subject of the feeling. A person who has "had a gutful" is likely to express their displeasure openly and forcefully. The intensity of the feeling is often conveyed through tone of voice and accompanying body language.

The expression can be used in various contexts, from minor annoyances to serious grievances. For example, someone might have "had a gutful" of constant interruptions at work, or a more serious "gutful" of perceived unfair treatment.

The term is considered informal and is rarely used in formal writing or speech.
