Gutted – “Devastated”
This is a piece of British slang you’ll hear all the time, in all parts of Britain.

The word is used to describe feeling very sad and disappointed at a circumstance or turn of events. For example:

He was gutted when he realized he was the only one of his friends who hadn’t been invited out to the pub.

Deciding when to use “may” rather than “might” can be tricky because the difference between these two verbs is quite small. They both indicate that something is possible, but “might” suggests slightly more uncertainty than “may”.

“I might take a trip to India next year” means that maybe you will go to India, but maybe you won’t. “I may have a slice of cake after dinner” expresses slightly more certainty that you’re going to eat that cake.

Even more confusing is the rule that “may” becomes “might” in the past tense. So, in the present tense, you would say “he may eat the last piece of cake”, but in the past, this sentence becomes “he might have eaten the last piece of cake”
