cut

Look up in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Fish or cut bait is a common English language colloquial expression, dating back to the 19th-century United States, that refers to division of complementary tasks. The original version of the expression derives from the fishing industry, in which fishermen must literally decide who is to fish, and who is to cut the bait used for fishing. Both the task of fishing, and that of cutting the bait, were considered equally important to the goal of catching fish. Another interpretation is that it means you have to make a decision. You either have a fish, or you cut it up into bait to catch more fish. This means to make a decision. Take what you have a fish or lose it and decide to use it to get more. It can also be interpreted as a threat, an invitation to act on a threat, or an accusation. One of the earliest notable examples of the expression that gained public attention was a court case in 1853 involving land disputes, in which US Attorney General Caleb Cushing was displeased with Judge Levie Hubbell's conduct in the case. Cushing threatened to have the Judge impeached. Cushing has commenced a suit in the United States Court... In this example, the expression is similar in intent to another common colloquialism: put up or shut up. The expression occurs twice in the 1987 comedy film Three Men and a Little Lady, referring to the point in a romantic relationship when the couple must consider marriage, or splitting up. Part of the humor is that the expression is never explained, and the fishing imagery is totally incongruent with the idea of marriage. In both films, the women who are then presented with these obscure metaphors are less than pleased with the implicit marriage proposal. In more modern times, bait is often prepackaged, and cutting bait is uncommon outside of the commercial fishing industry. This variation is now so common that it widely appears as the first entry in dictionaries and other reference materials. On the other hand, it has been used to illustrate two necessary and related tasks that cannot be done at the same time. Literally, a lone fisherman has to do both, but can only do one at a time. The act of fishing exhausts the stockpile of bait that has been prepared. In other words, the balance between work and maintenance.

What do you think you're doing. Cushing threatened to have the Judge impeached. Take what you have a fish or lose it and decide to use it to get more.
