Only people can crap out. (Dogs don't talk. And they don't play craps (a dice game).)

"cut off" when you make a right or left turn right in front of another car. You cut her off or you can "cut off" a person's organ.
"cut down" a tree, or cut down on a budget (spend less)
"cut out" a picture from a book.
"cut up" when you cut something into pieces.
"cut to" I personally never used this :)

I haven't used the same either.
However, I have often heard the words, "cut to the chase" being used. Does this mean being competitive?
Also, what does "cut to cut" mean?Last edited by shalstudent; 13-Dec-2007 at 10:20.

I agree with Ron! The only possible answer is 'cut up'! Originally Posted by RonBee
