the shortcut that takes longer once you count what it costs you
means breaking the rules of a game, test, relationship, or system to gain an unearned advantage, usually in secret
from From the verb 'cheat,' which is a shortened form of 'escheat' — a medieval legal term for property that reverted to the lord or crown when an owner died without heirs. Escheators, the officials who managed these reversions, earned such a reputation for corruption and graft that 'cheat' came to mean swindling someone out of what's theirs. The honest legal meaning withered; the dishonest one thrived.
