"Cutting the grass" is a slang term that often refers to getting rid of unwanted or untrustworthy people in one's life or environment. It can imply taking action to remove negative influences or distractions. The phrase is commonly used in contexts where someone is taking decisive steps to protect themselves or their interests, similar to "clearing out the dead weight." Depending on the context, it can also refer to being vigilant about who to trust or associate with.
I've always heard it's 'Clearing out the dead wood'. It's a bowling term. When pins fall and lay in the lane you need to push the button to sweep them into the alley. You push the button and the machine grabs the standing pins and lifts them and the sweeper swings across the lane and pushed the 'deadwood' (pins knocked over) into the alley. Then the machine puts the pins back and the game continues. It's also used during layoffs.
