Definitions
Crude Australian and British slang meaning to fart, pass gas, or break wind. The phrase is about as delicate as the act itself — which is to say, not at all. It's the kind of direct, no-nonsense expression that thrives in informal settings, especially among mates who've long stopped pretending bodily functions don't exist. Widely used in casual conversation, comedy, and anywhere adults decide to abandon decorum.

(slang, vulgar) To break wind, to fart.
Drop one's guts means: To break wind, to fart.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. It carries sexual or vulgar connotations; not alarming on its own but worth understanding the context your teen heard it in. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
drop one's guts means: To break wind, to fart.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
