cuts loose
Throws off restraint
Cuts loose means to release restraint and act freely, often with abandon.
Someone who cuts loose at a party stops holding back and enjoys themselves fully: After exams ended, we cut loose and celebrated all weekend.
It can also mean to sever ties or set free: The company cut him loose after the scandal.
