Cut the Cackle!

No, that's NOT self-addressed. It's my marginalia on Chapman, p. 33:

"Austin's ability to cut thorugh protocol"

Cfr. Kramer, 'cut the knot' -- Alexander (Naturalism, this blog)

Cfr. Searle reminiscing 'ambiguity' of 'cut' in "Speech acts and conversation" which he cared to share with me!

-- cut a coffee (where I come from means 'add milk to it')
-- cut the cackle -- Austin's favourite.

Etc.
