Klingon internal organs

A disemboweled Klingon.

Disemboweling, eviscerating or gutting was the process of cutting open and removing the internal organs of a lifeform. The term could also be used metaphorically to describe an action which removed either significance or component parts from something.

In 2151, Nadet believed that Humans had gutted the adults living on Terra Nova. Later, Jamin promised that Malcolm Reed would be gutted if they didn't return below ground. The Novans, who lived in underground cavern and tunnels gutted "Diggers", burrowing animals who lived there too. They did so in their gutting room. (ENT: "Terra Nova")

In 2370, pushed to breaking point by Byleth's insulting demeanor, Worf told him that were it not for his ambassadorial status, he'd disembowel the Iyaaran where he stood. (TNG: "Liaisons")

Later that year, Benjamin Sisko told Gul Dukat that the Cardassians' barbaric disregard for life, e.g. William Samuels' death while in custody, would gut the Federation-Cardassian Treaty. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")

In 2371, a Talaxian prisoner of Vidiians on Avery III promised Tom Paris he'd eventually be gutted for replacement parts. (VOY: "Faces")

In 2373, B'Elanna Torres told Tom Paris that she thought it was a waste of her time "trying to disembowel a bunch of holographic monsters" with a bat'leth in a martial arts holoprogram. (VOY: "Displaced")

In 2374, The Doctor described an individual who had also undergone an osteotomy at the hands of the Hirogen, as being gutted. (VOY: "Hunters")

Also that year, Miles O'Brien assured Nog that "ripping out the guts of the holosuite" wouldn't make Vic Fontaine's holoprogram reappear if Fontaine didn't want to cooperate. (DS9: "It's Only a Paper Moon")

In 1957, Herbert Rossoff felt that making Benny Russell's science fiction stories a dream would gut the story. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
