hör auf (damit)


Explanation:
Ich kann mir eigenlich mehrere Bedeutungen vorstellen - diese ist eine davon. Die andere wäre "heraus schneiden"; ich würde es dann so verstehen, dass man das "aufgeben" sollte, was fast dasselbe wie "hör auf" bedeutet (IMHO). :-)

See \"cut it out\" here: http://www.dict.cc/?s=cut-out&l=d (the definition there is \"unterlassen\")... Man kann auch \"cut that out\" sagen, was m.E. nur spezifischer ist.

Sorry, oben hätte es \"eigentlich\" heissen sollen. ;-)
