๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ English Expressions: Cut Someone Loose โœ‚๏ธ
Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹
Todayโ€™s expression is โ€œcut someone loose.โ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ It means ending ties with someone, letting someone go, or breaking up with them.
Itโ€™s used when you release or dismiss someone, often with a sense of finality or moving on.
Origin:
This comes from the literal idea of untying or releasing something thatโ€™s bound. Over time, it became a metaphor for ending someoneโ€™s connection or obligation.
Examples:
โ€ข He decided it was time to cut her loose after all the drama. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
โ€ข The company had to cut him loose due to budget cuts. ๐Ÿ’ผ
โ€ข Sometimes you just have to cut someone loose to move forward. ๐ŸŒŸ
