Difficulty in understanding this line"Cuts real deep calling miss homecoming a cow"
I heard this line in a PS4 game, where two teenage girls quarreled about a boy they both like.
For one thing, it seems to me that there's no verb in this sentence?
Cuts: Nouns
real deep: Adjective
calling miss homecoming a cow: present participle clause
For another thing, I cannot catch the real meaning. I know that "Miss Homecoming" is one who is most well liked by the entire high school, but what does it have to do with deep cuts?
