What does 'cut and tell fish story' mean?

'Tell a fish story' is an idiom that refers to relating a tale that is highly improbable or full of exaggeration. Say a fisherman claims he fought a giant marlin for days all by himself when in fact it was just a couple of hours with some help. People use this phrase when they think someone is not being entirely honest about an event in their story.

It could mean that the fish scales can reveal things like the age of the fish, its growth patterns, and the environmental conditions it has been through. For example, the rings on fish scales, similar to tree rings, can tell how old the fish is and how well it has grown over the years.

It could mean literally cutting something (like paper or fabric) and then using those cut pieces to tell stories related to a house. For example, cutting out pictures of different rooms in a house and then narrating a story about the family that lives there.

Well, 'free cut' could imply the freedom to cut something, like perhaps in an artistic or creative sense, like cutting paper freely. And 'tell stories' is just that - sharing tales. Maybe it could mean freely creating something (by cutting) and then using that to tell stories. For example, cutting out pictures from magazines freely and then using those cut - outs to tell a story about a journey or a character.

It generally means a story that is hard to believe, often an exaggerated or untrue account, like fishermen might tell tall tales about the size of the fish they caught.

It means to tell a story briefly, omitting the less important details. For example, if someone asks you about your trip and you don't want to go into all the little things that happened, you can cut a long story and just mention the main events like the places you visited and the most exciting things you did.

It could mean a love story that has been shortened or abridged. For example, a long - winded romantic novel might be cut to make a more concise movie adaptation.

A 'fish story' is an exaggerated or untrue story, usually about a big catch. So 'now you can tell a fish story' might mean that now you are in a position to tell an exaggerated or made - up story, perhaps because you have some kind of experience or license to be creative with the truth.

A 'fish story' is often an exaggerated or untrue story, especially one about fishing. So 'now you can tell a fish story' could mean that now you are in a position to tell an exaggerated or made - up tale, perhaps about an adventure or an experience.

Well, 'the first cut is the deepest story' implies that initial experiences, especially those that are hurtful, tend to leave the strongest mark. Imagine when you first got betrayed by a really close friend. That first experience of such a harsh betrayal is likely to be more shattering than if it happened again later. It's like that first cut goes right to the core and is harder to forget or get over.
