What's the lingo?
THE ANSWER

Trivia Clue: McEvoy -> JP McEvoy, the first to use the phrase 'cut to the chase' in his 1929 novel Hollywood Girl.
THE LINGO: Anagram of (Octet + Thus + Each) = Cut to the chase = "Many early silent films ended in chase sequences preceded by obligatory romantic storylines" = this gave birth to the phrase cut to the chase which means 'get to the point'.
No Lingo Kingo for the day.
