Invoking the shortcut clause indicates you never wish to discuss a specifically distasteful topic again. It's entymology can be found in a "Simpsons" episode (www.tv.com/the-simpsons/itchy-and-scratchy-land/episode/1392/trivia.html) wherein the family takes a shortcut and a smash-cut brings us back to them, in disarray, with Homer intoning ominously, "Let us never speak of the shortcut again".
You would not use the shortcut clause to avoid talking about something good, only something too horrible or traumatic to want to relive in any manner.

Abir: What is this 'shortcutism'?
Adnan: I take credit from you and claim the word as my own....a fitting example of shortcutism.

Refers to the act of bypassing second and third base, but instead proceeding directly from first to fourth base; i.e., having sex with a girl right away, without bothering to tediously wade through the whole hugging/kissing/touchy-feely foreplay-crap in between.
The simplest and most effective/successful fourth-base shortcut procedure, in two easy steps:
(1) Find a hot chick and offer her a free foot-massage (first base).
(2) When the cutie obligingly plops herself down and gives you her feet, take one foot in each hand and start rubbing them, but also gradually raise them up high till her legs are back over her head and her butt is lifted off the ground, allowing you to slip off whatever lower garment(s) she's wearing. If she'd made no objections by that time, then the rest is easy; just kick off your own lower garments and enjoy (fourth base).

Da "lazy man's way" of pronouncing two or more words in a common phrase --- the individual words get corruptedly/messily "run together", rather than being spoken clearly and "separately", the way a "proper" person would say them.
Classic examples of a phonetic shortcut would be "wanna" (want to), "ustuh" (used to), "shouldah" (should have), and "didja" (did you). Disgusting how da young people talk these days!
