“Times are tough. Thinking of cooking a rump roast just to make ends meat”
Do people who cook rump roast (rump steak) try to “make ends meat”? This is a pun, of course, on “make ends meet.”

Wikipedia: Rump steak
Rump steak is a cut of beef. The rump is the division between the leg and the chine cut right through the aitch bone. It may refer to:
. A steak from the top half of an American-cut round steak primal
. A British- or Australian-cut from the rump primal, largely equivalent to the American sirloin

In these hard economic times, will rump steak help to make ends meat?

Couldn’t afford to buy two rump roasts last night, so I guess I can’t make ends meat.

I used to work as a butcher specialising in rump steaks, but I struggled to make ends meat.

Who called it “butchering rump roasts” and not “making ends meat”?

Selling rump steak might be a good way to make ends meat.

The butcher who sold everything except rump roasts went bankrupt because he couldn’t make ends meat.
