The E: you've talked for 20 minutes and you've only gotten through two of your ten points. How much longer are you going to take?
The D: Well, to cut a rabbit in half and call it dinner, the gist of the story is that I had duck for lunch today.

A fumingly-sarcastic reference to a shamelessly "sneaky 'n' unethical" (and unfortunately very common!) "buy-pressure" strategy practiced at many hardware/specialty-supplies stores; the ploy consists of a staffperson's hacking off a length from a roll of bulk-product like rope, wire, hose, or cloth, and only **afterwards** informing the customer how much the product is priced per foot, hoping that said customer will then feel obligated to buy the piece "since it's already been cut off the roll".
I once had a totally pathetic "cost-cutting maneuver" tried on me at a bicycle-repair shop --- I needed a rear shift-cable, and so the clerk cut off my required length of cable from the store's bulk roll, without first telling me the super-steep per-foot price or asking me beforehand if I wanted to pay that much. It was only when he actually brought the "ringing up the sale" screen up on the computer that he revealed the astronomical amount that it was gonna cost me --- a whopping SEVEN DOLLARS AND CHANGE! --- for just three or four feet of the cable! Fortunately, I had the "bravery" to just look mildly shocked and hastily remark, "Eeeyewww... that's a lot more than I can afford --- thank you anyway, though. I'll just get one at WalMart instead." Hey, it wasn't MY fault if the salesman had created a harder-to-resell cut piece of cable --- I hadn't asked him to chop me off some of the cable yet, I'd just told him that I needed a replacement shifter-cable, so it wasn't my "responsibility" to now PAY for said cable! He should have told me beforehand how much it would cost per foot, and then asked me if I wanted to buy it before he'd actually hacked the length off the roll!

Side parting half-long hair style, resembling to East-European fashion trends in the 1970s and 1980s. Cut on purpose of retro ambitions or by inability of the barber in charge.
"What happened to your hair?! It looks so weird!" - "Why weird? Yesterday I went to the barber and asked for something different - and he cut this funky commie cut."

Tailoring your top to fit comfortably around neck. Mainly with unisex tshirt style shirts. Cut is made with scissors exposing collarbone.
She felt trapped in her shirt, so tight around neck and felt as if could not breathe, she picked up a pair of scissors and quickly made the wendy cut .

A banal term people on the Internet use to express that they are emotionally touched or are genuinely using the term as a pathetic attempt to hide the fact that they are crying.
Titanic finishes:
No one:
That one guy in the movies: Cries* Who's cutting onions?
Me: Facepalms 🤦🏻 ♂️
