cable + intrasitive verb meaning “cut”

Asked 3 years, 2 months ago

I was playing a game with my little children to find out that I got stumped to describe what could happen to a string below

If you pull a wire/cable/string so hard it could (intransitive verb meaning cut)

I managed to go around that but I still want to know the verb/s that could go above.

I though of verbs like rip/cut/break! and used a thesaurus for ideas but nothing beats asking our people for help, our fellow members.

Do you mean that the string itself will break, or that the wire could cut something else? – stangdon Sep 23 '16 at 11:25
@stangdon well, the OP did say 'intransitive verb meaning' – Alan Carmack Sep 23 '16 at 12:00

For string I would say break or snap. But these might not work as well for wire and cable or cable. – Alan Carmack Sep 23 '16 at 12:02
@AlanCarmack - Ah, good point. – stangdon Sep 23 '16 at 12:33
