Scissor cut figures.

It's three words without the space inbetween, for efficiency.

It's literally scissorcutfigures. In German you can chain nouns together to make up more specific ones. Like Doppelkupplungsgetriebe. It's literally doubleclutchgearbox.

Exept with government or trains

It's important to leave some things up for criticism. That's also part of the mating display.
