W: I heard on the grapevine Joan's leaving.
M: I didn't hear about that. I can't believe it.
W: It's true. Keep it to yourself because she was fired.
M: I guess she must be cut up about it. |
What does 'be cut up about' mean? And what words can it be replaced?
Thanks. |

W: I heard on the grapevine Joan's leaving. Usually we would say "I heard it through the grapevine."
M: I didn't hear about that. I can't believe it.
W: It's true. Keep it to yourself because she was fired.
M: I guess she must be cut up about it. "I guess she must be torn up / distressed / very sad / very upset about it."
