"Cut (one's) stick" = (từ lóng) chuồn, tẩu thoát, chạy trốn.

Ví dụ
They gave Barney the bum's rush. So he absquatulated (trốn chạy) (cut stick) in his dinghy (thuyền con), and rowed like crazy for home, anywhere but America.

John Sayles is an independent director, actor and writer whose latest creative endeavor is the novel “Yellow Earth.” Published Jan. 7 by Haymarket Books, it’s the story of contentious (hay cãi nhau, hay cà khịa) relations after oil is discovered beneath a fictitious (giả tạo, hư cấu) Native American Indian reservation in North Dakota, as a powerful corporation moves in to frack and “cut his stick.”

What’s the solution to this stagnation (sự đọng, đình trệ)? Disinfectant (tẩy uế), consisting of sunlight, charity, faith, employment, love, or meaning. Enticing these youngsters to cut their stick from their dark caves may involve leaving a trail of Cheetos or opulent (sang trọng, dồi dào) Starbucks beverages (đồ uống) at their front door and then pouncing with a net, a tall glass of ice water, and a copy of Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose.
