inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 14 April 2021, impromptu.
He cut up an old lady, retired,
They pulled up at a red light, required,
Then a look in his eyes,
One of outright surprise,
When she took out a pistol and fired.
On reflection, I thought I’d better say something – in the UK, we say “cut up” but a couple of US English readers are used to the phrase “cut off”.
you know, Pete, in American English, ‘cut up’ is what a psychopath might do to his victims with a butter knife.

the phrase for what you call ‘cut up’ in the USA is ‘cut off’ (in case you happen to be curious)

I wasn’t sure whether this was road rage, or stamping out road rage. One thing’s for sure, he never raged again 🤣
