Idioms - Cut To The Chase - English Vocabulary #shorts


Let's cut to the chase. What does it mean to 'cut to the chase'? Today's idiom is 'cut to the chase.' So, let's get straight to it: if you cut to the chase, it means you skip straight to the main point, cutting out all the unnecessary details. Let's look at a couple of example sentences: Say you're in a meeting that's just going on and on. Somebody might say: "We've spent a lot of time discussing different options, but let's cut to the chase. What's the final decision?" Someone's telling you a long story about their vacation. You might say: "I know you're excited to tell me all about your trip, but cut to the chase, did you have fun?" or, "Maybe I could cut to the chase and ask you about a broader question." You could use the phrase in an email. For example, you could write: "To cut to the chase, I need your approval on the budget by tomorrow." I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

What does it mean if you "wing it"? If someone "wings it", that means they do something without preparing, without planning, without practicing. It has a very similar meaning to the phrase "play it by ear," which I made a video about a few days ago. Here are a few examples to illustrate: • I didn't have time to prepare for the presentation, so I had to "wing it". • During the interview, she had to "wing it" when they asked her an unexpected question about her experience. • Can you share with me your secret to good parenting? I would say you just have to "wing it". • The chef ran out of one essential ingredient, so she had to "wing it" and substitute something else in the recipe. So there you go, the informal idiomatic phrase "to wing it". I hope that helps. Thanks for watching. See you next time. https://organicenglish.club/ More from Organic English: Organic English Website: http://bit.ly
