cutting across
Taking the shortcut
Cutting across means moving through something diagonally or by a shorter route rather than following established paths: We saved time by cutting across the park.
It also describes something that transcends usual boundaries or categories: The issue cuts across party lines.
The phrase suggests bypassing conventional divisions or taking the direct route regardless of borders.
