What does sack here mean? I find a slang explanation of which isn't appropriate to type it down here, but I think you know it. So does it make the dirty meaning here?

If the slang expression you are referring to is "You don't have the ***** to ...", then it's not 'dirty'. It's not the language one would use in polite circles, but it's quite commonly used informally to mean "You haven't the courage/nerve to ...". I have not heard 'sack' used in that way.
The contexts is that a man dumped his girlfriend through the answer machine. So one of his female friend said this sentence to him. I think the meaning of 'courage' here makes sense, however, I just want to know the correct meaning.
