cut out the middle man

1. Means of justification for a purchase. Everything is free if you think about it, because you aren't paying for a product, you're paying for someone to give it to you, so if you mentally cut the middle man (seller) out, you basically bought something for free.

2. Refers to stealing something. The people selling the product is the middle man, and by simply cutting out the middle man, everything magically becomes free.

Cut to Commercial Break

When you screw something up so badly in front of so many people, that you wish you were being pre-recorded on TV so you could ask the technical staff to literally "cut to commercial break." The cut to commercial break indicates that you have achieved an Xbox like screw up. If you were in a video game, the achievement "Worst thing you've done this year" would indicate below you on screen.
I had a savage, throbbing boner during my job interview yesterday. When I stood up, it kinked in my pants like a broken candy bar and I know the hiring manager saw it. I really wished I could have cut to commercial break. I could hear him telling his buddy I must be "fun sized" on the way out of the lobby.
