Cut the strings 

Refers to the strings of a puppet. Cutting the strings means that you are being "real" and not fantasizing or dreaming about something. Being a puppet means that you are not responsible, not a man, always dreaming about unrealistic things. Cutting the strings means you stop and think rationally about something.

Me: "what if we made our own shoe brand and moved to California selling the best shoes ever!"
Bro: "dude, cut the strings, you know that ain't never gonna happen"

Billy Strings

Billy Strings is a psychedelic blue grass jam band from Michigan. Thier music will melt your face off your skull and make you dance your feet off. The members of the band are all extremely talented and the best way to listen to them is LIVE with a head full of acid.

See the strings 

Anything that takes you out of a book, film or tv show by exposing the creative process.

In old movies where you could literally see the string holding people up, you would be taken out of the film because you could see the method of creating the effect, and be reminded you were watching a movie. Examples could also include speech making in books and films, where the characters are spouting the writer's philosophy, or going into expositional dialogue.

That speech just ruined it for me; I could see the strings.

That lazy coincidence took me out of the story completely - I hate it when I can see the strings.

no strings attached 

1) Doing something for someone without asking for anything in return.
2) Being in a relationship with someone, while still dating other people. This is so there is not anxiety of worrying about where him or her is or what him or her is doing.

1) It is ok, I will do you a favor...no strings attached!
2) I am so glad there are no strings attached with Dave. I can just be free and do whatever I want.

no strings

A response to a too good proposal. Asking if there's no catch and your not going to be expected to do something in return.

No strings attached snuggling 

Snuggling or sleeping together with no real intention of having any intimate time. Can turn sexual by accident but generally just a platonic relationship for the mutal benifit of enjoying sleep while being close to someone.

More common in winter, where single males and females attempt to keep warm. Sometimes wrongly interpreted as Friends with benifits, No strings attached snuggling wether platonic or not generally has no after-sleep awkwardness or strings.

Early in the morning James see's Sally leave Harry's room -

James: "Woh - did Harry and Sally fuck last night ?"
Jon: "No man - they just slept together - no strings attached snuggling. they do it all the time".
