✂️ Cut to the Chase — Daily English Idiom #13
Ep #13 teaches "cut to the chase" — to get to the point quickly, skipping unnecessary backstory — through three 4:5 flat-illustration cards: a frantic director literally cutting film reels to reach the chase scene, a bold eggplant-purple definition card, and a natural two-line office dialogue between two canonical characters.

✂️ Ever feel like someone is taking forever to get to the actual point?
There's a phrase for that — and it comes from the early days of Hollywood.
"Cut to the chase" = skip the backstory, get right to what matters.
Swipe to see it used in a real conversation. 👉
Where did it come from?
Silent-film directors used to literally cut boring scenes and jump straight to the exciting chase sequence at the end. The phrase stuck around — and now it works anywhere you want someone to stop rambling.
"I know there's a lot of context here, but I'll cut to the chase — we got the deal!"
Next time someone's giving you a very long email about a very small question, you'll know exactly what to say. 😄
