TO CUT CORNERS (REVISION): meaning and examples
Good morning. Today we review another Daily Vitamin from 2003.
Today's expression is: to cut corners.
It means: to do incomplete work in order to save time or money.
Example 1:
Some geologists say that too many corners were cut during the construction of the AVE between Madrid and Lleida; the tracks may not be totally safe.
Example 2:
If we're going to get this report done before tomorrow, we're going to have to cut some corners.
