Idioms on the word 'cut'

Idioms on the word 'cut' are not CUT AND DRIED for me.

At the first look of Alice and Mishaikh’s blogs, I feel it is so complicated. I intend to CUT THROUGH them. However, when I read the meaning of each of them, I can be CLEAR CUT (But they are still very difficult to remember). So I will CUT TO THE CHASE: I 'm CUT THROAT trying to build sentences with those idioms. (I hope I can CUT THEM FINE. But It still seem like CUTING NO ICE. Some sentences are CUT OUT FOR the meaning.)

I'm thinking and thinking again but I can't make more so I CUT UP RUSTY. I also don't know that my sentences are right or wrong. I should CUT THEM OFF and CUT THE CRAP now before I CUT UP SAVAGE.

This blog is not CUT ABOVE THE REST of mine but I love it.

Meaning:

cut and dried: simple

cut through: to avoid or bypass something complicated

clear cut: clear and certain, without doubt

cut to the chase: go straight to the point

cut throat: fiercely competitive

cut it fine: fine

cut no ice: not working

cut out for : not suited for something

cut up rusty: get angry

cut off: reduce

cut the crap: take out the unnecessary things

cut up savage (ugly): get mad

cut above the rest: better quality than most others, superior value than other people

Hey, do you want to make a sentence with 'cut' idiom. Pls write down! I 'm eager to see.

Good job!

I'd add a few more:

cut corners

cut something short

cut somebody some slack (e.g. This is my first blog about idioms, so cut me some slack.)

(to be) cut from the same cloth

(to be) cut out for or to do something

Suadee Ann. The word 'cut' reminds me of horror movies. I am always afraid of it.

Nicely attempted.
