पुरानी films में दर्शक exciting chase scene का इंतज़ार करते थे; cut to the chase यानी सीधे उसी पर आ जाओ। मतलब — सीधे मुद्दे पर आना।
In old films the audience waited for the exciting chase scene; 'cut to the chase' meant jump straight to it. So it means to get to the point.
Exam note
Answer है मुद्दे पर आना; terseness related है, beat about the bush और verbosity opposite। इसे cut to the quick (गहरी चोट देना) से confuse मत कीजिए।
The answer is 'to get to the point'; terseness is related, while 'beat about the bush' and verbosity are opposites. Do not confuse it with 'cut to the quick' (hurt deeply).
