Definitions
Cut one is a lighthearted euphemism for passing gas — breaking wind, letting one rip, or farting. The phrasing is casual enough to use without being outright gross, which is why it shows up everywhere from schoolyard jokes to adult banter. It implies a quick, clean execution (like cutting through something), which of course contrasts amusingly with the actual event. It's everyday toilet humour dressed up in slightly polite slang.
Someone cut one in the elevator and everyone stared at the ceiling pretending not to notice.
