Idiom: A slice off a cut loaf is never missed


Idiom Definition

Meaning:

  • Used colloquially to describe having sexual intercourse with someone who is not a virgin, especially when they are in a relationship. The analogy refers to a loaf of bread; it is not readily apparent, once the end has been removed, exactly how many slices have been taken.
    ('You never miss a slice from a cut loaf' is also used.)
