cut corners

Originally used in travel terminology, as "to take a shortcut" (ie, pass by the corners, since cutting along any alternative path is faster than going all the way round the damn corner).

Used more frequently to mean skipping the hard stuff, use the easy way.
Exercise? You're kidding me, right?

Conard

One of two high schools in WH, CT, along with Hall. Unlike Hall, however, Conard is ethnically diverse, comprised of students from middle to lower income backgrounds, and the underdog of WH. Famous Conard grads include "Bob" from the commercials (Come on down!) James and David Naughton (both actors). James played Dr. Pepper in the famous commercials and was the main character in An American Werewolf in London; David starred on Broadway in 'City of Angels' and 'Chicago' and has appeared on TV several times (Law and Order, If These Walls Could Talk, . . .). Hall students often claim superiority, but seldom have any real evidence to back it up.
Hall student: Conard sucks! Hall is so much better!

Conard student: What makes you say that?

Hall: we have better SAT scores, more money, and no black or hispanic people!

Conard: uh huh. Yup, you definitely go to Hall. (p. s. the last time you had better SAT scores than us, Reagan was still president.)
