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.

Cut one loose is a mildly vulgar, widely understood slang expression meaning to fart — to release intestinal gas, audibly or otherwise. It's informal and conversational, used for comic effect among friends. The phrase frames the act as a deliberate release rather than an accident, adding a slightly conspiratorial, jokey tone. More acceptable in mixed casual company than harder synonyms. Common across North America without strong regional restriction.
