(slang) To leave in a hurry; to bolt.
Dated British slang meaning to make a quick escape — to bolt, run off, or get out of a situation fast. 'Cut one's lucky' implies a smart, timely exit rather than a panicked one; you're cutting and running before things go sideways. The phrase has the feel of Victorian underworld slang, the kind of colorful expression that turns up in Dickens-adjacent fiction. While it's rarely heard today, it's occasionally revived for comedic or stylistic effect in period-flavored writing.
(slang, intransitive) To break wind.
(UK, Irish, figurative, colloquial) To prepare to move; to pack up; to go and live in a different place.
