It'd make sense if Aaron Paul was standing on top of his xbox cutting something.

Frankly, I don't think many people use that term at all.

Northern California, have never heard this phrase in my life, internet or otherwise.
But that's a hilarious story.

nice I am in nor Cal as well Chico to be exact and I heard it before
Yes. Apparently lots of people. I'm 24 and have lived in Texas my whole life and I've never heard anyone use that phrase before (real life or on the internet). The original title legitimately confused me the first time I read it. "Cut on" doesn't make sense, and it's not like "cut it out".

"Cut the light on for me" is a very common use of the term. But while we're on slang, that "cool story bro" stuff makes no sense to us, so we're even I guess.

Yeah, even if you don't know what cut on means you should still be able to figure out what the title is saying. I think people are just using this as an excuse to complain about a phrase they haven't heard of and call it stupid
Anyways, funny story OP. that's why if I'm going to get an Xbone itl be the $399 kinect less one. That sounds annoying.

this thread is a reminder never to use slang on gaf.
Aaron Paul is alternately shanking and seducing video game consoles.

true, when reading or listening to someone from another country mispronounce or misspell words I am usually able to comprehend what they are trying to say people are just being ignorant. Our brains automatically comprehend what one is trying to say from the context we read something in or how we hear someone trying to say something.
I understood what he meant and I am sure others did as well, we were just questioning his use of the term "cut on." It isn't very hard to understand where we are coming from.

Op's Xbox got turned on by Xbox commercial. Title had slang. People were fixated on said slang.

Some of those reactions were hilarious if they weren't staged.
Do you understand every slang term ever used anywhere on the planet?

I can't blame your Xbox.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
It's literally nowhere a hard term to understand, even if its your first time hearing it you should atleast get the gist of it.
I'm also curious as to why it's ghetto. Wonder if we'll get an explanation before or after E3?

Real classy there. Calling people ignorant because they didn't understand something that doesn't exist in most English dictionaries.

"This guy cut on my xbox" means, to practically anybody who isn't familiar with a specific slang term, "this guy was using a sharp object like a knife and physically cutting into my xbox."
I don't understand why you think everybody should be familiar with specific phrases not widely used.

I thought Kinect was supposed to learn each owner's voice over the weeks and months it was used.
Americans are weird. And it's a tuque, not a touque. Touque sound like took. Which is weird.
Watchdog was supposed to be a lot of things too. Only dreams now.

Some of you are straight up remedial as fuck; not that hard to figure out what "cut on" means via context. Some of you are truly special.
Yeesh.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
because what you say it means makes no sense in the context, so you should maybe think a second or two what could be the real meaning.
That's not even the most confusing thing about the reactions to this thread. It's the fact that the OP explained what he was talking about in the first post. People read the title, didn't bother to read the single line first post, and proceeded to go "WTF DOES THAT MEAN?"

Sorry if it's harsh but it's true. Instead of engaging in the discussion about what transpired, many people would rather be obtuse on purpose for what I can only assume are some personal lulz, for what purpose? I refuse to believe that no one couldn't figure out what the OP was saying once they read the actual thread. Doesn't even need to go that far just reading the thread title should have clued anyone in. But instead we have people going "huehuehue what iz 'cut on' bro?! the fucxorz!? That maxors no since! you can't cut something on!". Like it really? Why act dense on purpose? And to what end? I'm not even from America and I figured out what he meant before I even finished reading the damn thread title.
Seriously people it wasn't latin.

Assuming the text in the OP was the same before the edit (outside of the title) as it is now, then yes, context clues should give away it's meaning. Or make people assume it was simply a typo.

I guess most of you haven't heard "cut the check" either.

Maybe he wanted to play some Sonic & All-Stars Racing, or that weird version of Rage he has that uses a light gun?

The Xbox One seems filter out most of the audio that comes from the system itself, including voice commands. I just played the long version of this commercial through the YouTube app, and none of the voice commands did anything with my Xbox. Run your TV through your Xbox One and it might solve the issue.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Because it makes no sense.
There's been plenty of unfamiliar slang that made sense immediately, but "cut on" is just stupid. As someone said earlier, it's like saying "falling up".
No one would say that here, but at least it makes sense.
These are unrelated even though they use the word 'cut'. Another difference is that they actually work.
And it's "cut a check". Anyone who gets their pay check and pay stub on one perforated sheet should immediately grasp where it came from.

I was already starting to respond to this in an edit before you post this.
Yes, they all make sense. 'Cutting a check' refers to physically removing a check from a larger sheet, which many (most?) people have personal experience with to this day.
I always assumed that 'a cut above' came from different cuts of meat being better than others. Turns out it's about bread, but exactly the same idea.
These things make perfect sense. Your take on this is basically like Miracles by Insane Clown Posse.

I always thought voice commands not being properly keyed to the logged in user were a bad idea...
In all of those senses, I've always thought of the cut as a divison. You trace a cut (division) through the parking lot. You tear (cut) the cheque. A cut above means a better cut of meat.
But I live in western Canada so I wouldn't know, eh?
