Cut A Bucket 

(v); 1: When someone asks you to do something odd and/or insignificant they could easily do themselves while you are very obviously busy. (they are closer to the bucket, holding a saw, and you are getting in your car to leave, asking you to "cut" the bucket.)
2: A rediculous request phrased like a completely normal, everyday question.

"Dad asked me to cut a bucket."
"Which way?"
"I don't know, I didn't stay long enough to find out."
