Definitions
Student slang for a college or university course that's notorious for being easy — minimal readings, forgiving grading, and an almost-guaranteed decent grade. Gut courses are the strategic picks that pad a GPA or lighten an otherwise brutal semester. Every campus has them, and the campus grapevine makes sure everyone knows which ones they are. Sometimes called "blowoff courses" or "easy As."
I'm taking Intro to Film Appreciation as my gut course this semester so I can focus on organic chemistry.

American slang for food that's greasy, heavy, and filling in the most satisfying but regrettable way possible.

It hits your stomach like an anchor, leaves you full for hours, and guarantees you'll feel it later. Said with a mix of affection and horror, gut bomb is the perfect description for late-night junk food indulgence.
