Waist chop also known as cutting in two at the waist, was a form of execution used in ancient China. As its name implies, it involved the condemned being sliced in two at the waist by an executioner.
Waist chopping first appeared during the Zhou dynasty (c. 1046 BC – 256 BC).
In 1734, Yu Hongtu, the Education Administrator of Henan, was sentenced to a waist chop. After being cut in two at the waist, he remained alive long enough to write the Chinese character cǎn (慘; "cruel, awful") seven times with his own blood before dying. After hearing this, the Yongzheng Emperor abolished this form of execution.
In the modern Chinese language, "waist chop" has evolved to become a metaphor for the cancellation of an ongoing project, especially cancellation of television programs.

- The term za sui (杂碎) is found in newer Chinese-English dictionaries with both meanings listed: cooked entrails, and chop suey in the Western sense.whatthefunk

An Early Run-In With Censors Led Rod Serling to ‘The Twilight Zone’
His failed attempts to bring the Emmett Till tragedy to television forced him to get creative
In August of 1955, Emmett Till, an African-American boy from Chicago was abducted, beaten, and shot while visiting family in Mississippi. A nation divided by race dug in its feet in the aftermath. While Jet magazine disseminated photographs from the open-casket funeral, showing the full mutilation of the 14-year-old’s corpse, another story played out in the courtroom. That fall, an all-white jury acquitted the two killers, both white, of all charges.

Everybody probably knows this but I didn't.
adobe tip - dimensions in shape properties can be changed with mathematical functions. So if you want a shape to be 1/3 of its current height, add /3 after the height value in the dialog box.
- Top tip - this doesn't work everywhere... wait until you stumble across the cases when it doesn't...shapesalad
- It's handy in InDesign when setting up type relative to the baseline gridsausages
