Description
English, like Spanish, makes a distinction between the general act of cutting and the specific action of slicing. These words can confuse, however. Do you cut a slice, or slice a cut?

Don't forget to read our blog at NoTeRindasPodcast.us for the many expressions in English that use the word "cut," like "to make the cut" or "to be cut out for." Chécalos.
