cut through

[edit]

In both of the "idiomatic" senses given, cut just means to take a shortcut and through is just a preposition indicating the location of the shortcut. You can also say cut a corner, cut over a bridge, cut under the fence, cut behind a building, cut around a crowd, etc. And the third sense is just a little bit more figurative. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 11:14, 24 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Delete, note it was created by a sockpuppet of the banned user Wonderfool, who's well known for adding self-evident verb + preposition senses. Of course who created isn't relevant, the point is all the definitions are really the word cut followed by the word through, where cut and through retain their usual meanings.
