Hi,
does the idiom "don't beat about the bush" mean exactly the same thing as "cut to the chase" or "cut the crap"? (even though the last one seems rather gross to me)
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
does the idiom "don't beat about the bush" mean exactly the same thing as "cut to the chase" Yes
or "cut the ****"? Yes, in a context where someone is slow to come to the point. In other contexts, the expression can simply mean more or less 'stop the nonsense'.
