Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “cut a — figure“ and its meaning is “to present (oneself) a particular look/appearance/impression”.
Example Sentence: In Geneva, by contrast, cool normality was on display. Biden was well prepared for the US-Russia summit. He cut a relaxed figure, telling Putin he wanted a “predictable” relationship after a period defined by rogue Kremlin behaviour. The summit flowed along conventional diplomatic lines: a handshake, several hours of intensive talks and separate press conferences afterwards.
